Hi, I have had 3 surgeries for Rd - the first in Aug 08, with scleral buckle and gas bubble, then it detached again when the bubble went down, so I had another surgery in Sept 08, this time with silicone oil. The oil was removed in December 08, and cataract surgery done at that time In the 2 years since the oil was removed, I have been receiving injections every six weeks to 3 months. Sometimes I am injected with Avastin, and sometimes with Triessence. As I understand it, this is being done to treat persistent CME. My vision in that RD eye is not improving anymore. I'm being told that the swelling has to be controlled in order to save my eye I'm just really getting tired and frustrated with the shots, and feel like this is going to be going on forever! My doc is one of the best in the world, at the best eye hospital in the world (Bascom Palmer), so it's not like I question his/their treatment, but I just wonder if there's something else that could be done, or even if it's completely necessary, since it's not helping my vision in that eye. Any thoughts from the doctors or other patients?
