My pulmonologist didn't think it had anything to do with the medication, so I called my eye dr and was able to see them Monday afternoon. What I actually have is a macular hole. l've been referred to a retinal specialist and will schedule surgery to repair it. Keep us posted! I'll let you know if I find out anything different when I see the specialist.

@kpger
So is there any conclusion if Brinsupri could be related to the development of the hole?

@kpger sorry to hear about the macular hole. While unlikely to know the cause your post caught my attention as I just found out I have a retinal tear. Not the same thing but coincidental. I’m not on Brinsupri but do use a vest along with nebuluzing and airway clearance. I stopped the big 3 in July so other than an inhaler, no other MAC meds currently. Are they doing laser surgery for you? Did they go over any restrictions post surgery or to avoid possible recurrence? Wishing you quick recovery.
