What is an OCT? today 9/9/10 my daughter had a 3rd visit w/ her retinas consultant and she is not better. He said she is a line worst than the first time he saw her in July. she has been on Xibrom drops. She had all lab works, including PPD, RPR, FTA-ABS, ACE level, Bartonella tiker, lyme titer, and even angiogram everything shows up negative. He could not find anything other than her retinas are swollen. He recommend steroid pills next while we get a refer to see a specialist in Ureitis? at USC.
Any suggestions you may would be helpful.
thank you,

She probably had an OCT. Did she have a flourescein angiogram?

we did see a retinal specialist, and he said my daughter has swollen retinas. At this point she is using the eye drop Xibrom for 4 wks and follow up a visit. Since she has no other illness or previous surgery of any kind, what could cause this swollen in the retinas? what kind of test should be done? what steps as a parent that I can take?
thanks,
LV
Swollen retina is a very nonspecific term. Get a referral to a retinal specialist.
