Suggest Medication For Dark Spots Noticed On Retina
My mother is a high diabetes and blood pressure patient for last 15 years. Now her eyes is bleeding, means the black spot appears on the ratina and gets expanded due to which she can't see anything only a red color appears. We consulted one of the good doctor Dr. Azam. He injects an injection into the eye, 3 doses for three months. Till now 4 times doctore has conducted this treatment but after every 2-3 months the problem started. This treatment is expensive and painful as well. Could you please advise its solution and till when this problem will be rectified. Thanks

You mother is suffering from severe Diabetic retinopathy which is in proliferative stage with bleeding inside the eye. Kindly see retina doctor as she requires laser spots all over retina as well as those injections and if severe may even require surgery. Kindly remember Diabetic retinopathy related vision loss is a preventable blindness if treated on time.But unfortunately your mother has presented in a late stage where the vision loss is mostly irreversible
