OT – eye update. Saw the Retina specialist yesterday and the swelling/fluid in the left eye isn’t related to the macular degeneration. it’s scar tissue on the retina causing the problem. Surgery is the answer, which he said could be put off until my sight worsens, but sooner is better for the best results. I was expecting him to say I needed a shot in the eye, not surgery so need to do a little research and wrap my mind around it. I have a follow up appt in Jan, so am thinking of having it done then, unless it gets worse before then. suprisingly, i’m not scared, just healthfully concerned.
