[QUOTE="gwai84, post: 2219357, member: 407377"] I don’t think it’s rare. All the comments people sent me, and what my ophth team told me, was accurate - that things are rough for a couple of years, but it normally settles down eventually. Even with proliferative disease >90% of people keep their vision with the right treatment - I found this hard to keep sight of when things got rough though, and fixated on the minority who don’t. Obviously I’m still not out of the woods yet either, I’ll be on six monthly monitoring for at least the next few years. But I wanted to put something positive out there, because until I asked for advice here all I read (and remembered) were horror stories and worst-case scenarios. [/QUOTE]
