I am worried, I went to Liverpool Hospital today St Paul's Unit, lots of scans and ultrasound on my eye.
I have a swollen retina and its been leaking fluid,
I am post PBT 14months and my vision is starting to be affected . Ive been having blurred vision, flashing and flickering shapes and shadows, plus my eye has been aching and bright lights really effect it.
I have just had two weeks off work ,but I dont think they are very supportive, my job is computer based and im really struggling with the computer. I already have it set on night mode and have a screen clipped on it but I am seeing double.
The tumour is the same size, which is good, so the consultant said at the moment they are not worried about that, but he wants me back in 6mths and to go to Bromsgrove hospital in 3mths.
He thinks I will loose my vision within a year, he said it could be tomorrow, it could be in 12mths.
My retina is still swollen and there is patches of blood. There's a chance my eye will grow new blood vessels but the consultant said they will be faulty, if that happens they would treat it with extreme laser treatment and I may loose the eye.
We spoke about the avastin injections but he said at the most it would give me about 3 months extra vision, and it can also give me cataracts and glaucoma, so i have decided against that.
Has anyone had these symptoms or had the faulty vessels grow.
I'm already wondering about work because my place say I can't do my job.
