Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

[Thelis]

Does anyone go to Lincoln County Hospital for their injections? I have central retinal vein occlusion and am on my 7th Eylea injection. Thelma

Hi Thelis, the macular society have groups all around the country I believe. If you contact them they may be able to put you in touch with someone local to you. Best wishes.

Hi i don't go there but it's good to know , figure of speech, that I'm not the only 1 with a central vein occlusion which happened to me last june, it's hard to get your head around this horrible condition . I hope your doing ok, they gave me an 8wk gap in injections fir first time and my eyesight deteriorated, so back to month gap next time hoping it will pick up. I wish you all the best . I have read about a dr in ohio that successfully removed this clot on a patient with q robotic machine he developed, hoping something will be available in the uk in the not too distant future

Best Regards

Hi, I started off with a 4 week gap and then in December changed to 6 weeks. The doctor is hoping to get me to 8 weeks soon. My next one is 7th Feb. It's supposed to be 6 weeks but its 7 weeks and 1 day as they are extremely busy with appointments. My sister also has the same problem and she has been having injections for over 3 years now. My brother has Central ARTERY Occlusion but they can't give any treatment for that. Hope you improve very soon. Nice to hear from you.
