Water Retention Behind Retina, No Wet Macular Degeneration. Caused By Lymphedema? Had Head, Neck Cancer, Radical Surgery
I have water retention behind the retina of my eyes and do not have "wet" macular degeneration... could this be cause by lymphedema? I had head and neck cancer in 2007 and had radical surgery... complete glossectomy and complete dis-section of the neck where they removed 9 lymph nodes. Up until the time of my surgery I didn't have anything wrong with my eyesight....

Hi, it appears that you have an advanced malignancy in the neck, while getting surgery there is possibility of the metastasis to the eye. Any how let the eye doctor treat it in his way, and observe , to controle it. If it is not cancerous you may get good relief. Thank you.
