What Causes Blurred Vision And Swelling Of Retina After Undergoing Cataract Surgery?

I had cataract surgery in 11/2014, which considered successful until my second follow-up visit when my vision became blurry. I then was referred to a retina specialist. After three injections of Avastin and a number of eye drops I still have some blurry vision and some swelling of the retina. My risk factors are 1) high blood pressure since age 28, current age 70 and 2). diabetes, (non-insulin) . What s my options now?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, retina pathology needs some extra care because this is irreversible if associated with some risk factor as mentioned here like hypertension and diabetes, nothing much can be done if the initial management being done, now just wait for some time, late result may be likely to come, till then no need to do anything, hope this information helps, take care.
