problem

[JJnan]

Hi everyone, had what i though was a strand of hair at side ,

cleaned all glasses, still there, looks like the "strand" has turned into

a mishape circle with blobs of blood on tthe strand iin my vision..

wet amd in both eyes fir 8 yrs...inj only in right eye , no imj 4 yrs in left

eye, no central vision...rang emergency opthamology at hospital..

he said if no pain and i can see then he will see me tomortow morning,

i asked if it was risky leaving it as its my only good eye...apparently yes

..ferling anxious x

Typical now I think JJnan. Do you have an A&E in your eye hospital? The main eye hospital where I live does and I have been told for anything like that to go straight to A&E or for any redness and discomfort in the eye. Usually the wait is long but at least you're there knowing you will be seen that day - no use though if you don't have an A&E department for eyes. I hope all goes well for you tomorrow and that it's something that's easily sorted. Easy to say I know but try not to worry too much. Please let us know the outcome.

Hi, it's the vitreous gel pulling away, sounds scary but i was assured all is ok

it causes shadows/shapes ...the fabulous news for me was them telling me

first time in 8 yrs it's dry!...been a battle but after 4 inj of new treatment its working, not sure how you spell it begins with F, hopefully much longer between inj now 👍..

Faricimab, alias Vabysmo. That's what I've been having since December last year. I'm so glad to hear that it was nothing to worry about and that you were assured all is OK. What good news that your eye is now dry, it really is fabulous news, as you say and long may it continue for you. Thanks for letting us know how you got on. xx

Thank you for the update. Well done going from wet to dry, hopefully it stays that way for a long time.xx

it sounds like a floater to me if there is no pain or bright flashing lights but I m not medically trained would be interested to know what they say. All new floaters are best checked out though so good that you have done that.

[JJnan in reply to tallyho]

your right he asked about that but i dont have those symptoms...it's the vitreous gel pulling away but i was assured it's fine...gone from wet for 8 yrs to dry so very happy about that, new treatment working ..x

[tallyho in reply to JJnan]

so the beginning of a vitreous detachment? Anything you should be avoiding doing?

[JJnan in reply to tallyho]

I thought it sounded scary but all they said was to look out for fladhing lights or if no vision...but otherwise its fine...it's still there ..i have an app on 14th with my usual consultant who is great..he will go into detail about bit x

Hi JJnan, hopefully it’s just a floater but can understand you being worried. Hope all goes well at your appointment today.xx
