Hi all
I’m 24, I’ve been T1 for nearly 17 years and I’ve been suffering with retinopathy for about 18 months.
I’ve had numerous laser sessions and lucentis injections but still having bleeds.
The doctor has said he doesn’t want to give me anymore laser sessions but has booked me in for avastin injections. I’m wondering what the difference between lucentis and avastin is and will this prevent further bleeding?
How bad does it need to be before a vitrectomy is suggested?
Any advice/information would be really helpful.
Thanks
