Hello, It’s now 6 weeks after my right eye plaque removal. Things feel reasonably good , I have a dark patch appearing in part of my eye but my sight is better than I thought it would be at this stage. I have a check in Sheffield Halamshire Hospital on the 27th this month . I will also be having twice yearly abdominal scans for 5 years. I have been told that I will be loosing my central vision eventually over a period of time. Fingers crossed now that the plaque treatment has worked, otherwise my eye would have to be removed. The staff at Sheffield were fantastic and made me feel I was in safe hands.
Is anyone else going through this treatment, What are your feelings?
