I have been going through eye treatments for retinopathy–laser treatments, avastin and a vitrectomy. I thought we had conquered everything that could come along. Now my eye doctor tells me I have a blood vessel growing into my iris. A little research on the internet brought up rubeosis iridis as a name for the condition. My eye doctor says this is especially hard to treat because it’s at the front of the eye and hard to get with the laser. I’m schedule for another shot of avastin in a few days. Other than that, I don’t know what the plan of action is. Anyone else out there have dealings with the condition? Anyone else out there have some encouraging words?
