Hi
I would strongly recommend a diabetic profile to be conducted on at least 3 occasions on 3 different days with at least a 2-3 day gap between each year. Compare the results and then reach a conclusion. Also get a HbA1c conducted.
If no abnormalities, then an elaborate ophthalmologists consultation.
Best wishes
