Has anyone else had the macula edema injections? I want to speak to someone else who has had them, as im feeling very alone in this at the moment.
I had some diabetic retinopathy, and some laser treatment as a result. All was well. As a result after some time, my vision started to go blurry, which i was told was due to fluid build up, and the only treatment was eye injections. Had two very successful injections, and then my third. This third being the second one in my left eye.
Problem is my sight hasn't been right since. The fogginess experienced previously has gone, which is what the injection was supposed to treat, but im now having trouble seeing letters and words and things in the distance with my left eye, a week on since my injection. Has anyone else experienced this? My first two were great, and sight was fully restored within four days. I have been told that symptoms could last up to two weeks - these being a dry, stinging, gritty, red, watery eye etc. I haven't had any of these symptoms on this third injection, unlike the previous two, and this time my sight problem has changed but isnt right still.
I phoned the clinic i had the injection done back and after explaining everything they advised me to wash the eye out with drops every two hours for a week, suggesting maybe the iodine drops and other stuff may not have washed out.
Im just wondering if anyone else has experienced this as its very unsettling!
