Suggest Treatment For Retina Issues
Question: I went to the eye doctor but am nervous to wait till Friday to see a Retina specialist. Monday night half of my left eye went out. If I close my right eye, I can only see the lower half of the screen.
Brief Answer:
Wait until you see the eye specialist
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I am sorry for the situation you are going through.
As you experienced loss of vision, it means that you are having problems with retina. This is the part located on the back of the eye, it is full of blood vessels and nerves.
If your doctor saw swelling, my thoughts are for possible problems with increased eye pressure. However, the eye specialist will get your eyes further examined to determine the right diagnosis.
Do you suffer of hypertension? Heart disease? Diabetes? These chronic illness can precipitate retina problems
Let me know if you need further clarifications.
