Retinal Vein Occlusion

Hi,
I have BRVO in my right eye, with an 8/10 vision, almost no edema left (having Eylea injections for 7 months), but a slight blur on the top part of my vision (due probably to a focal laser done in the area, or residual blood). I wonder if I will stop seeing the defect sometime down the road? I mean, not seeing the defect when looking with both eyes. Thank you.

@berryy, My right eye is also affected by BRVO. I was treated with injections. In a BRVO (Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion) the blood leaks from the vein and can cause damage to the retina. In my case, I have an area where my retinal nerve was damaged and I have some partial vision in my right eye. When I look at a distance, I see a cloudy area; when I look at close range, I see a geyish blind spot. For me it is annoying, but my left eye is compensating. This will not go away for me because the nerve is damaged in that area.
You might find this interesting: When I look at the Amsler chart with my right eye, I see a fuzzy donut shaped srea that is the blind spot. I can see clearly inside of the hole, and outside of it!
How are you dealing with the injections? Any discomfort afterwards?
