Hospitals.
Has anyone had the injections for this and if so what was it like please? i have this DME and the consultant said I could have these or the steroid implant or not have any treatment. So to go away and think about it. This is because i researched the VEGF injections and they can cause blood clots stroke heart attacks. Last year I went to A&E with double vision issues. Had CT and MRI scan and the MRI showed a small stroke which they do not investigate. They show up in theses scans in lots of people. I was diagnosed with 6th nerve palsy which took 18 weeks wearing a patch but it got better. Im wary of the injections. There are also risks with the Steroid implants. My eyes feel fine so i have not contacted the medical secretary yet to say whether or not i want the treatment. Im erring on the side of watch and wait. I want to see what other non invasive options. Id just like to hear from those that have had tis condition please. Thank you, Sandra
