I got retina problm before about 2 years..my doctor advised surgery as I has vision problem.Snce then I have been taking Nuruday H. Pl advise should I continental or stop. My vision is ok now. ## Hello, Nippy! How are you? This is just a nutritional supplement, so unless your doctor says otherwise, there is no harm in taking it, or in stopping it.

I have fundus photographs done annually as I have a retinal naevus. One year after starting Prexium Plus for Hypertension I have developed macular drusen typical of Age Related Macular Degeneration with visual loss. Has this been reported. ## Hello, Janine! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you've experienced. This medication is listed as containing the active ingredient Perindopril and no, that is not a side effect reported by the FDA. It can cause some visual disturbances, such as blurred vision, but that's it for ocular. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

Were you on Lucentis or Avastin before the start of Eylea? ## I haven't been able to find any information that lists such symptoms as being known side effects of this medication, but it's very difficult to know how any drug will affect any given person that takes it.

My daughter is disabled, non verbal and has severe self hitting behavior issues. She is blind due to retina detachment. She got multiple surgeries for retina reattachment. She still has silicon oil in her eyes to hold the retina in place. From the last two years she has been complaining about some kind of pain but not sure where the pain could be. She tries to punch her head and ears a lot. She is getting treatment by doctors for pain relief but it is not helping. Right now she is getting gabapentin 900mg three times daily along with Cymbalta, Lorazepam and Trileptal. Only her sleeping issue is a little better but she is still continuously uncomfortable with pain. Doctors think it could be behavior temper tantrum attacks. Is there any other doctor who can advise us on how to improve the...

Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) is a human medical condition where the vitreous gel (or simply vitreous, AKA vitreous humour) of the human eye adheres to the retina in an abnormally strong manner. As the eye ages, it is common for the vitreous to separate from the retina. But if this separation is not complete, i.e. there is still an adhesion, this can create pulling forces on the retina that may result in subsequent loss or distortion of vision. The adhesion in of itself is not dangerous, but t...

The human eye is an organ which reacts to light for several purposes. As a conscious sense organ, the mammalian eye allows vision. Rod and cone cells in the retina allow conscious light perception and vision including color differentiation and the perception of depth. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors.[1] In common with the eyes of other mammals, the human eye's non-image-forming photosensitive ganglion cells in the retina receive the light signals which affect adjustment ...

I have color changes while taking Prolensa, for 2 months 1 x a day. now that I have stopped using Prolensa will my color vision return. No retina problems or nerve damage have be found. ## Hello, Ranrah! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. I really haven't been able to find anything about Prolensa causing this. What has your ophthalmologist said about it? They would most likely know more. Are you certain it isn't changes due to the surgery?

My sister is a chronic diabetic. In the past her eyes have been extensively laser-ed. One year back she received Avastin injection for edema in the retina which eventually subsided. Now again she has started developing edema. Her eye doctor now is suggesting ozurdex injection.Please advise as although avastin was an expensive injection, I believe ozurdex costs over Rs.65000.Should she suggest to her doctor to repeat avastin, and if so how often can it be given OR she has no option but to try ozurdex ## I have to apologize, because this site does not have any information on pricing in your country. However, the best advice I can provide is that her doctor would really know best what she should try, because they are the person most familiar with her medical condition and her full medical ...
