Well? I was recently diagnosed with Diabetic Retinopathy. You can read about it here. https://diabetes.org/health-wellness/eye-health/what-is-reti...)%20in%20your%20vision
The treatment is monthly, with photographic reviews to measure progress. And all sorts of exams and such. But the treatment itself is by means of injecting medicine...yep... you guessed it,
An intravitreal injection is a shot of medicine into the eye. The inside of the eye is filled with a jelly-like fluid (vitreous). During this procedure, your health care provider (usually an ophthalmologist) injects medicine into the vitreous, near the retina at the back of the eye. Yowsa!
I had the first injection this afternoon. After twice monthly injections alternating right to left, treatment is expected to go down to quarterly injections.
If you'll pardon the pun; we shall see.
