I went for an eye test and they said that my right eye was leaking from the back and that I should see mt GP to have blood pressure,diabetes and eye iron(?) checked.Both the former were all right,which only leaves the iron.As my SF has been over 1,000 for some time I assume it is that.Has anyone else had anything like this?

My husband is having the leaking in one eye also but from the retina. We also just found out his ferritin blood level is 1,385. I haven't related the two conditions until I read your post. I have read inflammation can cause high ferritin. What are they attributing your high iron to and what is your ferritin level? We go to his first doctor appt for the high ferritin tomorrow.

My ferritin was 1487 and is now 622 after 6 vebesections.I have 2 C282Y haemochromatosis genes.Since my post I have had eye scans which have found no leakage and my eyes apparently haven't been afeected by haemochromatosis.

No, I don't have either. I sometimes feel tired after the phlebotomies but my main symptoms are fatigue and join pain anyway. I was very worried so tell your husband that not everyone suffers the worst case scenarios quoted on some websites .
