Sector laser with Lucentis injection for Diabetics Macular edema

[Homealone]

Dear all, I am posting this on behalf of my mother. She is suffering from Wet Diabetics Macular edema in her left eye. She is already taken 5 avastin injection, followed by given one ozurdex implant but not sufficient progress. Then she was given accentrix injection and focal laser. After that few progress was shown. But after two months later, during normal follow up, the edema problem occurred again.

During last follow up, dr suggest to give sector laser and give a Lucentis injection. Both are already given 5 days ago. But after having sector laser in her eye, my mother saw some dark shadow area in her eye when she look into something. Her vision was 6:9 before having the laser. And there are no such problem. I asked my dr regarding this issue, he replied this is a temporary problem created because of laser. It will be back to normal vision after passing 14-15 days. But I am afraid, is it a scar created because of laser? Will it fully recovered? Is there anyone here having same experience?? Please let me know, if anyone having this kind of experience. If you have any suggestions for this. Thank you in advanced.

I am adding the oct image before having last laser.

Firstly the actual condition is diabetic Macular oedema which is quite different from AMD. I undertnd OCTs quite well and looking at your mothers the fovea ( the dip) is still present so there is no fluid in the most important part of the macula ( so 6/9 sounds right) the photo you show is of the left eye (OS) did she have an injection in this eye? the microns ( the bulls eye picture) show at the Center of the Macular 275 which is very good the reason she had the injection was because in the outer ring it says over 400. You do get scaring with laser BUT this would be done in the outer rim so should not really affect her sight I would say. I am not an ophthalmologist but do still understand quite a bit about eyes.

Thanks a lot tallyho. The ans of your question is, yes - she was given injection in this eye. I was worried, because I thought that the shadow area may be stayed forever. If the scar healing, then that shadow area may be gone. Just hoping for the best.

Thanks again.
