[QUOTE="mr_cat, post: 2315493, member: 423172"] Sorry to read of your eyes issues, to everyone. I too have these problems, all the swelling centred around the macular disc in both eyes as well as general bleeds dotted about the retina. currently my left eye is suffering the worst and being treated by eylea injections. [must have had well over 30 now in both eyes over the last 3 years] the injections certainly help, but its a slow process and the re-occurrence of swelling very frustrating. As mentioned by various people my own issues kicked after my bloods improved to normal levels. That amsler chart is always interesting, the centre dot vanishes when looked at with my left eye plus lines crush up by 30-40 % in various places, as well as spots of diffused missing areas all over the place. right eye is better in the centre but has a missing bit 1.5 squares below the dot. plus all the waviness else where. The whole lot combines to create distortion in far off faces etc, tv viewing etc. Being an artist having super precise vision is something of a necessity so far i have been able to work around it but it is a concern. All i can add is best wishes and fingers crossed for everyone who is dealing with this unpleasant side effect. [/QUOTE]
