2nd Opinion

We went to Colorado Springs to see my old retina specialist.  He had pictures from back in 2004 and 2006, which when compared to today show that I indeed have scar expansion in my right eye. This explains all my vision loss in the last few years.  It would also explain the style of loss where there is a rapid decline and then slowly over 6-8 weeks it appears things improve. It is just simply the eye working to find a new focal point on the retina to bring images into and once it does and the eye gets used to this new spot , acuity improves. Also there is little to no difference between  maintenance on Avasitn and just treating when there is obvious activity.  Part of my problem has been when we have treated on a dry eye with no evidence of blood vessel growth, it appears to have a detrimental effect.  There is no harm in saying no to treatment if all is dry.  It is a bummer that it is scar expansion, because that is irreversible, and not preventable.  The good news is I am no longer in limbo wondering what is going on with my eye and why am I having such a tough go of it.
