Went to the eye doc this afternoon. My left eye isn't clearing up. The drugs they gave me last month should have cleared it up if it was the blood vessels swelling, but it hasn't. Asked if I was going to have to get a patch and become a pirate. He said no, the retina is not detaching. He did an ultrasound. My eye is not pregnant! Says it is either existing blood vessels leaking of new ones forming. The good thing is the back of my eye is NOT swilling. He is giving it a month to see if it clears up. If it doesn't improve doing a Vitrectomy again. Says will clean the fluid, put some dye in a find where it is bleeding and cauterize it, then replace the fluid again. Acted like it was no big deal, they just try to cure it as best they can before they open the eye because of the risk of infection.
Said to not do any lifting or bending or anything strenuous as it would cause more bleeding instead of it sealing the leaks off.
