Eye Disorder

I use drops (Xlatan, Timolol) I also got Laser glaucoma therapy ,2 y. ago
now, with my left eye, the straight lines (scale, edge of the wall, road, etc.)  appear curved (positive Amsler grid test).

Is this a sign of retinal detachment or it is posterior vitreous detachment, alternatively could it be retinal vessel occlusion or any other thing.
My doctor suggested to do Fluorescein Angiography, Is it a reliable test method for me?
Finally am I in emergency state and what shall I do to slow the development while doing the diagnosis..
Thanks
Henry

Dear Sanii,

I would recommend that you have the test. It is possible that you have swelling of area you see the best.  I would also recommend that you seek the care of a retinal specialist.
