Default Eye problems - update

I hope it works out for you............I just saw my retina doctor today.
and she measured the reitnal thickness of the left eye at 799uM, while the
right eye has stabilized at 364uM.
The left eye is pretty useless right now, but she gave me an injection of
Avastin, hoping that it will reduce the swelling in the left eye. Diabetes
is sure a boatload of fun. I understand what you are going through, because
I am going through it myself. Although the swelling in the right has
reduced, the steroid injections have accelerated that development of a
cataract, to the point where I have lost about 50 percent of my contrast
perception. I have the font on my computer set to the largest "I am blind
and cannot see the screen" setting. Good luck!

Good luck Michael, I hope they get that figured out for you soon.


I am finally starting to see some improvement. I was able to keep it
open and synced to my left eye for about 30 seconds, while driving. I
still have a lot of jitters in its movement, but it is showing some
improvement.


I'm sure glad to hear that.. and will be praying for your continued
improvement.



Thank you, my friend.
