Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that your father is having diabetic retinopathy and he has undergone treatment with laser.
Since still he is having g problem he needs treatment by intravitreal injection.
This mode of treatment is the recent mode of treatment and is quite effective.
Hence I advice you that your doctor is right and your father requires treatment as advised by him.

Thank you
