[QUOTE="Pippa1988, post: 2005189, member: 501040"] Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum but so far have found a lot of the posts very helpful. I’ve been diagnosed with proliferative retinopathy in both eyes which has caused a vitreous haemorrhage in the right eye. Frustratingly this has been caused by a sudden improvement in my health and control in the last 6 months.... I have lost 2 stone, been exercising more and saw a massive reduction in my insulin requirements (I’m type 1 since age 4, now age 31). My last retinal screening 12 months ago showed background changes only. I was concerned about the risks to my vision long term with laser and so have seen an ophthalmologist privately. I am going to be having anti-VEGF (eyelea) injections and wondered if anyone had any experience of this? What’s it like to have the injection done, how quickly did it take effect, did it improve vitreous haemorrhage etc. I’ve also looked into the Noctura mask and am thinking about giving that a go. Again does anyone have any experience here? Many thanks for reading and for any info you can provide! Currently very scared and feeling extremely gutted that my efforts to improve my health have actually ended up damaging my sight.... [/QUOTE]
