Pre cataract surgery drops
In error, I used prednisone drops prior to surgery. Will this cause a problem with surgery being able to be done?

Post heart attack meds side effects
Hi I’m 41 and had a heart attack 2 months ago. Although I’m back at work I still get really tired at times and often feel nauseous and light headed. BP is stable so presuming it’s just side effects of ACE inhibitors and beta blockers ??? Has anyone else had similar issues

Anybody here with Central Retinal vein occlusion CVRO
-- and associated macular edema??? I was diagnosed with this and had an injection almost immediately. At that time, my vision loss was not very bad and within 1 week I had gained my vision. BUT - I was unable to have another injection for 9 weeks and by that time my vision was VERY bad with quite severe

Cataract Surgery. Off topic.
I’m scheduled to have it soon. I’ve worn glasses for 58 years and can’t function without. How did you handle using glasses while waiting on the second surgery? Did you get new glasses? Get rid of a lens? Thanks in advance.

Possible misdiagnosed Macular Degeneration at 17 years old?
4 years ago, when I was 17, my vision got drastically worse and an opthalmologist told me I’ve got macular degeneration (my mom had it). I was also told that your condition cannot improve, you can only control it after it gets diagnosed. I got some meds prescribed, which, as an irresponsible teeen,

Severe macular oedema
A few months ago, I thought that I needed new spectacles so I went to an optometrist who immediately referred me to an ophthalmologist telling me that I had retinal bleeding in the right eye. The opthamologist diagnosed me to have a macular oedema consequent upon a retinal vein blockage and gave me

40 and too young for cataracts
In October 17 I was told I had a small cataract in my left eye. And that I've probably had it most of my life and not to worry. I turned 40 in Nov 17 so I am quite young to be diagnosed. In April 18 I noticed that I was looking my vision in my left eye and with in 6-8 weeks it had gone. I call the opticians

Fatty Liver? Haven't felt Good in Months
Can you have cirrhosis with a fibroscan of 4.3? I've had constant Right and left upper quad pain for three months. I've been a daily drinker for 10 years. Have had CT and ultrasound. Both showed a fatty liver. ALT was at upper limit for a couple years. Quit drinking 3 months ago and all labs have

Newbie/Pain follower wanting to ask an opinion
Hi.... I hope you are all well. I am asking for a friend... no honestly I am! Who has a horrible ex who has emotionally abused her and is now taking her to court to try and take her son away. I have known her a long time and sometimes we have a glass of wine together and on rare occasions when neither

Anesthesia and B12
Hi everyone, This Wednesday I need to have an endoscopic ultrasound will be put under for about an hour. Doctors are trying to locate neuroendocrine tumors as I have very high lab markers (and symptoms of course) but all previous scans do not show anything significant. I read something somewhere before

Tips for newcomers please
As a newly diagnosed sufferer of the wet version of age-related macular degeneration I am now being injected monthly in both eyes with a loading dose for the next three months. May I ask if between injections I can safely use moisturising eye drops ? Is there anything I can do the ease the discomfort
