Hello
It seems from the history that you are having fluid in the retina and this condition is called as cystoid macular edema.
The treatment is by use of steroids and antiinflammatory drugs.
The treatment you are in the form of steroid injections is correct and you can continue treatment as advised by your doctor.
Thank you
