optic migraines

Yesterday, he said he was having a whole series of optic migraines. He described them as huge white spots in the middle of his vision. He said he has had them in the past and has talked to his doctor about them. He just sits for about 15 minutes and they go away. No headache with them.

And his right rotator cuff is giving him fits. This morning he said he did not sleep for the pain. So I asked if he needs to go see the doctor for that and he said, "I might".

I'm wondering if optic migraines are a precurser to diabetic blindness.
