Recurring Uveitus and CME

[PDeal]

I am 46 and started having recuring uveitus about 5 years ago. Started in the left and is now in my right eye.  (Left eye ok now for the most part)  Learned to deal with that using steroid drops at onset but as of about 8 to 10 months ago devloped Cystoidic  (?) macular edema   in my right eye. Began using nevenac drops but it is not clearing it up this time.  Vision down at least 40% in that eye and lots of floaters ( cloud like) and  black spots.  When I watch tv sometimes looks like a bug in on the screen.  Vision is very blurred and I have been to eye specialists, retina specialists as well as rheumatologists, cardiovascular and cardiologist.  HELP.  do not know what else to do. My doctor recently moved to another state and I am tired of every one else just shrugging their shoulders and sending me home with the same instructions I have had for the last year or more.

Thank you for your reply. If I sounded desparate it is because I am and will be looking at the website you mentioned immediately.

Dear PDeal,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to monitor your progress. IF your vision is reduced from CME and it has not improved with medical therapy, you might require additional steroid injections or possibly, even surgery.  You can find an eyeMD on the AAO.org website.
