After several days of very seeing a very blurry spot in my left eye, I saw the retinal specialist. Of course, the blurriness had disappeared by the time I saw him, but I learned something. He confimed what the tech had told me in that dry mac continues after diagnosis of wet mac. It does NOT go away. Loss of vision continues and in fact one's life is like a roller coaster with ups and downs. Seeing that black ball when getting up out of bed is from a drop in blood pressure. He acknowledged that I probably shouldn't drive as long as I felt nervous about it, but after some time had past and I felt more comfortable about driving to use my own judgement. I felt this was good advice as I've already noticed I have good driving days and days when I really don't see well enough to drive safely. I have only had one shot of Avastin in my eye and that was when two cysts were seen. I will not have another one until I have another bleed. Fine with me.

Vision pretty good this morning. Yesterday, I had a bad blurry spot in my central vision of my left eye. This is what I can expect.

This time, I had little tearing after the shot. Sun nearly blinded me even though I had dark glasses on. It did not stay sore as long, either. I went out to lunch with my daughter, then home for a long nap. By the time I got up, the soreness had disappeared and by that evening, most of the blurriness from the shot was gone. I've noticed a couple of new floaters. My vision is still not as good in that eye. I wonder if I lost some by waiting to see him at my regular appointment time instead of calling him a little earlier.
Not able to take those vitamins because of the zinc. Now I see they are offering zinc-free eye vitamins.
