Hi Sarah, it is fluid that builds up and in the back of the eye. A side effect I was told of the Vitrectomies. It is treated by Lucentis or Eylea injections to the eye. It is different from Age related macular degeneration. The treatment was approved in Scotland late 2012 but took another year or so in England to be approved for diabetics. (my auntie almost moved back to Scotland to get her injections.)Thankyou for your msg.. what is macular oedema can I ask
Please don't worry about this being the next thing to happen as I was over 30 years down the line before this with a lot more issues added on top before then. I have a standing joke with some of my consultants that if I was a horse I'd have been put down a long time ago but their argument is that they've spent too much money on me as it is so they'll keep going.
