Hi
My partner has had retinopathy for about 5 years now and has had maximum laser, he has gone through a period of being stable. One of his eyes bleeds probably twice a year and takes a while to clear but his other eye has been stable throughout, but he has just had a bleed in his good eye :-(
I really don't understand it, how can he still be bleeding if all his eye is lasered? Does this mean he'll go blind as it just seems there is no why of stopping it. It's totally thrown by this and is so annoyed, it wasn't a bad bleed and is starting to clear already but 4 years after laser and no bleeds wny would it happen again.
We are at the hospital again soon for a check up so we'll have to see what they say.
Retinopathy is horrible and just when you think it's going it rears it's ugly head again, it's awful.
