I have already had a second opinion from one of the best eye hospitals in the U.K and the doctor was still unsure why I was getting the pain as he couldn't find anything.
I will ask in more simpler terms.
How would you treat Rentinal Ischemia when no cause is found?
Your questions are impossible to answer without an exam. Please consider a second opinion--University setting.

Hi there the doctors think the cause is tuberculosis but are not sure. I took 6 months of tb medication but my eyes had ischemia again. I don't know what to do now? Do u think steroids is worth trying? Or immuno suppressants? I also have a deep aching pain in my eye ever since I've had this condition. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Sorry I mean't what would you do in a case of retinal ischemia where there was no clear cause? How would it be treated? I am getting laser today but is there any other treatement?
Thanks
Neil.
The problem is that there is no diagnosis. Doctors can't not find a cause. I have been tested for diabeties several times and sickel cell anemia and comes back normal everytime. In this case where clear cause can be found how is the retinal ischemia treated? Is there any medication I should ask my doctor about?
Thanks.
A medical diagnosis would be helpful. There are many causes of retinal ischemia-diabetes, vein occlusion, sickle cell anemia, etc.
