Suggest Treatment For Retinal Degeneration

default
Posted on Thu, 26 Nov 2015
Question: I have Macular Degeneration In the right eye. I have had 3 injections of Lucentis and 2 of Eylea. At my last visit to the Eye Specialist, he told me I have a 'bump' at the back of the eye which has a small tear. This will continue until I have lost all sight in that eye. Can you explain This 'bump', what causes it and if there is any treatment which may reverse or stop this condition?
Thank you XXXXXXX Imlay, subscriber

Brief Answer:
Possible Retinal degeneration. Please uploadad images.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can most certainly understand your concerns.

The swelling and the tear could possibly represent retinal degeneration.

This can be accurately assessed by fundoscopic examination of the eye.

Such retinal issues are normally associated with macular degeneration.

I can direct you better if you can upload images of the eye.

This can help me to guide you through with regards to treatment.

Post your further queries if any.
Thanking you.
