[QUOTE="mr_cat, post: 2106771, member: 423172"] Hopefully it will clear up on its own if not there are effective treatments. anti Vegf injections being the most effective on average. My own issue is Macular Odema a step on from yours which is treated by the above anti vegf injections. I get the flashing or flickering thing too all be it intermittently and visual distortion such a straight lines looking wavy in places. One other test i do is look at a tv with no input just the fuzzy white noise with each eye, areas of damage show up as blurred spots. You can check further with a grid of lines too [[URL]https://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/amsler-grid.htm[/URL]] look carefully at the grid with each eye looking for wavy or missing bits of lines don't move your eyes focus on a dot in the centre of the grid. The reason I mention this is because it is an easy quick and dirty way of monitoring things. Above all don't panic nothing will go down hill super fast with this. [i have had this for 3 years+] Obviously there is plenty of info on the web too. [as well as other members of this great forum] I hope the above is of some help. All the best M [/QUOTE]
