Hello
It seems from the history that you are having central retinal vein occlusion.
The treatment is usually required for long duration of about 3-6 months.
The treatment depends on the type of central retinal vein occlusion. Ischaemic variety is the severe one and it requires treatment for long duration, whereas non ischaemic variety is the milder one and treatment is required for lesser duration.

Thank you
