is it you whole eye looks bigger than the other? I think mine look the same but I have ptosis do it’s hard to tell. I have had 105 injections in my right eye for DMO and 33 in left before diagnosed with ischemia

[Harrymole in reply to tallyho]

Thank you my friend for your reply. Yes the entire eye is noticeably bigger than the other one.

has this just happened. Has your consultant said anything about it? I think you should speak to your opthamologist about it

[Harrymole]

No my friend it has gradually happened over several months. My consultant hasn't taken it under his notice, so I assumed it was what happens after more than 40 injections.

Do they check eye pressure regularly?

[Harrymole]

Only get 3 monthly appointments now. Used to be monthly. Yes pressure in Jan was over 60!sent to emergency eye clinic. They put me on an infusion then a tablet eventually it was laser treatment to put tiny holes at the back of my eye that did the job consultant said the fluid gushed out. Pressure came down to 7.

Dear Harrymole,

As suggested already, it would be a good idea to check with your ophthalmologist. You can contact them via their secretary.

Kind regards,
