Hello, Scott. I don't have any exact information at this time except for what I know from a routine eye check appointment two weeks ago. I do not have the situation; my husband does. He told me several weeks before that his eye felt as if it was swollen. I looked but nothing was different on the outside. When we went for our checks, he could see only blurs with his left eye. The dr. ran some tests and came in and showed us the photos of his eye---- the blood pooling, the swelling, like a wave, the blood vessel crimped---all causing him not to be able to see clearly. That led to the procedure he will have Monday to dissolve the blood and help it be absorbed and have several needle injections to reduce swelling. He told us that it would not improve the damage, but it should keep it from causing more problems. He called it an eye stroke. My husband's problem is a result of high blood pressure which caused the pressure first and then the crimping to blur his vision. We won't know until after more tests and the procedure with injections into his eye what the result will be. I will be in touch as soon as I find out more. I have been researching and preparing us for his appointment.

I hope you can have some reversal. Thinking of you as you see a retinal specialist.

Thank you @rosemarya. We are grateful for all the positive thoughts and prayers we can get. Our greatest hope is that he has not lost his sight in that eye.
