Brief Answer:
Retinal examination

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thank for sending your query to us.

You have a effect of diabetes on retina and i am presuming that your blood sugar at the moment is normal. You have to go through complete retinal examination including OCT test to pin point the defect and then managed accordingly.

You have to seek immediate appointment to have complete retinal examination and get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.

I just had a retinal exam less than six months ago. Do I need to go emergency room immediately or can I wait until Monday to see Doctor

My dear
Thanks for getting back to us.
The level of expertise needed for you will not be available in a emergency room. Monday will be good if you can persuade them to accommodate you on Monday.
Do get back to me in case of any further query.
