so after many laser sessions which were successful, I now have a lot of scar tissue which is causing some pulling/traction. I’ve opted to wait until after Christmas to see if it gets any worse, consultant has advised that surgery might be needed but may reduce vision in the eye. At the moment...

Has anyone experienced a small patch of blurring after laser? I had my second session on my right eye two and a half weeks ago and just in the last couple of days it's been a bit blurry. Should I be worried?

Had my first laser this week and can honestly say it was fine, didn't feel a thing apart from one wee patch that was uncomfortable but disappears as quick as it came!

I'm dreading laser! Although people are saying it's not as bad as t seems! Has anyone experienced a little floater after their injection? I've had one for about 3/4 days off and on, I've contacted the hospital or are going to check it on Monday

I've just came back from my second injection. Eylea has cleared the swelling and some of the leaky vessels in my right eye, hoping it does the same for the left. Still to have both eyes treated by laser but so far Eylea has done the job from just 1 injection! So far, so good!

I've been been trawling the Internet since I had my first injection on Thursday and can't find anything about Eylea. Although the nurses have told me if I got through an injection to the eye (not as bad as it sounds) laser is a stroll in the park! I'm not so sure! Thanks for posting, refreshing...

I've wondered if private healthcare would be a better option? Communication is also a key factor here, do the various departments involved in our care speak to each other? My guess is no. I was going yearly, until changes occurred then it was 6 months, the time gets lesser and lesser then...

So people's eyesight is left to deteriorate as a result? Shocking. I looked up Eyelea injections which are also used for macular degeneration cost around £1,000 approx. Usually treatment continues with one injection per month etc, imagine the cost of that for 2 eyes...find myself lucky to be...

I've saw a few people on here with a similar story, which is worrying. Is it across the board that people are being left until the situation reaches crisis point? I know they are now helping/doing treatment to preserve my sight (there has been no changes to my sight just the working behind...

I feel everything has been left until it's reached crisis stage. The doctor I saw on Monday has been the best one yet! I'll admit when I was in my teens I let my diabetes slip (typical teenage attitude) and I had no issues at all then, now my diabetes is better this happens, but of a kick in...

Hi I was diagnosed with retinopathy a while back, I've seen 2 different doctors who 'kept an eye on it' when I was seen approx 6 weeks ago I was advised further change would require treatment. At my appointment on Monday the consultant advised I would need treatment urgently. My right eye was...
