2. What will happen to my sight?

Maculopathy
In situations where the macula is affected there is usually a gradual loss of the central vision. Otherwise there is usually just loss of part of the visual field.

Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
There is little visual disturbance due to the new blood vessels. However vision tends to become blurred and patchy as the effects of the bleeding and retinal detachments become more relevant.
