    Just had a complete eye exam. Was diagnosed by the VA doctor with fuid build up in the back of the eyes. Got refeted out to a eye specialist. Im not diabetic or take any kind of meds. The doc thinks my situation is rare considering my current health situation. Great video and information.

    It`s sometimes just stress. In my case for example. After reducing stress and stopping smoking the black ring/spot is gone. I can only see a transparent spot which looks lie a waterdrop, when i squeeze my eye. I wish you a speedy recovery✌

    Great video, thank you. I have post retinal tear surgery macular edema. I have had multiple steroid shots in the eye walls and dropping N-Said. The edema goes away but then returns. Next option is steroid shots in the vitreous at the retina. Does this all sound right? Are there any other options? Thank you!!!

    I have had Macula Oedema treatment since 2021 with injections like Avastin and Lucentis and finally 6 doses of intravitreal implant - Ozurdex every 3-4 months! I had the last one yesterday and now have some spots and floaters which my ophthalmologist says there is bleeding! What treatment can you recommend to correct this? Christopher Dias - Sri Lanka

They have helped clear fluid build up but I still have bleary distorted vision in the eye that’s affected. Desperately hoping that this will rectify soon. Do you have any tips? Thanks again ✊️✨

I have it in both of my eyes I sort one out and then the other one goes so bit of a catch 22 as for tips take a pain killer before you go for your next injection should sort the irritation and pain out and I can't stress this enough DO NOT RUB YOUR EYE it just makes it worse hopefully you get on top of it mate
