I had a thirds eyelea injection for BRVO today and, whilst I had been told at the first injection appointment, it would be every two months from this point, my next injection is in 6 weeks time- the doctor i saw said that as there is still oedema present things might deteriorate if it was left for two months.
I'd be grateful to hear others' experiences re timing please. My sight is very much better now and I'm grateful they are being careful like this- just wondered what to expect.
I also asked about the length of time in which endopthalmitis can occur after injections - hoped that if it it is unlikely after a month I could go away in between 2 injections but was told it can be longer than a month before evidenced- depends on microbe involved- wondered what people think about this?

Glad your eye sight has improved. As far as endopthalmitis is concerned - it is difficult to predict when that may or may not occur. Also, it may or may not cause pain, depending, as you say, what bacteria are involved and how your body reacts. The condition can actually be caused by injections amongst other things. Have you had any problems with it in the past? Sorry I can't tell you more about it, but I am sure you can go away between the injections if you plan it between a week after and two weeks before the next one, though I would not risk going abroad. Take care. xxx
