What Causes Macular Degeneration Of The Right Eye?
Explained below...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern regarding blurred vision.
If you have any report from your consultation with the eye specialist, please send to me. I need to know at what point your macular degeneration is causing blurred vision.
To me, the blurred vision will be gradually improving because it is after eye intervention your doctor had carried out.
This might have caused local irritation and inflammation, (expressed as edema).
After inflammation will get settled down, the blurred vision will get improved too.
If severe stinging feeling should call eye doctor again. An up-close consultation with eye specialist is very important and highly recommended.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

me anything as far as her report goes. Made an appt. for more follow up for next Tuesday, and see what she "says" then. Eye is still irritated, no stinging.. Usin unpresered eye drops prn.p.s. before she did the exam on Oct. 25, I asked her about the macular degeneration and she said it was stable at that time.
Still thinking it's on its way to betterment...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Stable macular degeneration means no acute damage has been going on there. So, this in correlation with my first opinion; blurred vision is caused by eye intervention. This is a known fact.
It might require a few more days to get fully improved. The fact that you are not having a stinging feeling, means that improvement is on the way.
Hope the next appointment you have on Tuesday will be better.
You can ask the eye specialist to give some reports regarding the consultation and intervention. Tell her you to need to have this information in case of emergency, so ER doctors would know the exact help they would provide to you at your age.
Hope this helps. I pray to God for your betterment.

Yes, I did.I appreciated all you said. I had followup with
my Retina Specialist this past Tuesday. My eyesight has improved
a lot. Irritation is much better. Before this episode,my eyesight
in that eye was 20/40 with glasses. On Tuesday it was 20/50, and she is
confident my sight will continue to progress in another few days and
will return to 20/40. I purchased new glasses in mid October, and the
Optometrist told me he didn't think he could improve much more (than 20/40)
because of the wet macular degeneration. At least now I can see clearly.
Retina Dr. asked me what we were going to do for sterilizing the eye area
before at my next appt. for injection, I told her we would do the "soapy mixture"
she had always used prior to this unfortunate incident. She still insists she
did not use pure Betadine. She did say that there is some Betadine in the soapy
mixture, and maybe there was more Betadine in it than the usual. She said she
is checking for the soapy solution with less than 40% Betadine. She "thinks" there
was a 50 or 60% in the one she used, not the usual percentage she was using before.
She also said she would be sure my eye was properly "numbed" before the injection of
the Avistan. We shall pray and see what happens in January.
I thank you for all your help. P.s. when I first saw her 2 days after this episode
of Oct. 25, she said my eye sight on Oct. 27th was 20/200! No wonder I couldn't
"see".

Happy to hear your eyesight improved
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
So glad to hear your sight has improved. I hope it will get improving.
Hope also your retina specialist would find a soapy Mixture with less betaine.
All the Best.
