This is everything I have been diagnosed with. I had the Laser surgery because of the 3 retinal holes in the right eye. I have three more in the left eye, so I'm getting laser done in 6 weeks for that one. They believe that my vision has decreased further because of the 3 cataracts in the left eye and the 2 in the right eye have noticeably changed for no apparent reason, (I am not suffering from any health issue that would normally cause these changes such as diabetes). Only a year ago my vision was 20/40 in both eyes. They also briefly mentioned amblyopia but didn't really go into a deep discussion. I also take dorzolomide eye drops, in hopes to decrease the swelling in my retina from the cystoid macular edema.
In August I meet with the genetic retinal specialist, they want to have Electroretinogram performed. I have read about it but I am not a medical person, so I don't know what they are looking for.
I know it seems like a lot for one set of eyes to have to endure but I got a second opinion and they unfortunately confirmed everything.
You need to call your doctor. I am not sure what he is treating. What is your diagnosis? and why is your vision decreased?
