I can definitely relate to what you are going through.  When I was pregnant 
with my second child I was scheduled to see the eye doctor during my first 
trimester and my vision was 20/20 and he saw no reason for concern.  Three 
months later I started having blurred vision and it was down hill from there. 
 During my pregnancy I kept my A1C below 6, so it wasn't due to my blood 
sugars.  I had my first laser sugery 4 months after my son was born.  I know 
it can be a bit overwhelming but keep your chin up and thank God for modern 
medicine.
