Cobweb floater after eye stroke

[bassbaby]

Had an retinal and arterial vein occlusion which resulted in distorted vision in one eye being a cobweb like result. Was given eye injection of avastin but didnt improve vision. Anyone else have same issue and if so what course of treatment did you do and was it successful in improving vision?

Hi I had injection 2 weeks ago. Eye blurry

My husband had this vein occlusion happen in December and has the same symptoms as you. Finally getting to see a retina specialist next week.

I had an Avastin shot in 2021 for myopic macular degeneration and it cured the bleed and distortion in a day. I am hoping it will work for him

He is 73 with 20/20 vision (before this) and no glasses. Now he has lost most vision in his left eye. This is his first eye issue so he is very frightened. Hates needles too! I will report back. Wish us luck!

Goodness, that is a shock isn't it, I hope all goes well for him next week Colleen1974.

Pray it goes well for him and he has good results

I have cobweb floater 6 month after macular hole healed. Is this caused by macular? Was told sight would come back after a few months maybe 6 - can drive and no gaps when reading but floater is annoying

[Colleen1974 in reply to Daffodilia]

My husband can drive too and read and watch TV but he said the same. Very annoying. He said his is purple that looks like leaves with holes in it.

I call mine jelly fish - round clear bubbles with a bit of texture - saw cobweb description today - thought it was good

I have degenerative macular disease for a year now and got my first avastin injection 3 days after diagnosis. By this time I was seeing waves and blurriness. The first shot didn't work very well. I got the second 5 weeks later and that one helped a lot. I could see much better and by the third shot 5 weeks after that I pretty much was seeing as good as I was prior to the diagnosis. My vision has now returned to normal, actually better than normal. I now am getting shots every 12 weeks and everything is going great. Hopefully get to every 16 weeks soon.

I think we all recognise how scary it is to have this problem in the first place and then face the treatment required. Hopefully you will have a good result and it will be worth the stress. Let us know how your husband gets on. All the best.

I had a BRVO three years ago, was injected with Eylea, my vision cleared and I haven't needed another injection since, though I do get regular retinal scans.

[bassbaby in reply to 7goldens]

So only got one injection and it cleared up vision? Was it right away or did it take awhile?

[7goldens]

It was within a few days. My doctor said I respond to Eylea really well. He didn't know if I'd get all my vision back, but I did. Not everyone does.
