Hello @barbarn, I think you have done an excellent job of identifying the options available for your husband along with an important question that needs to be answered. I agree with Rosemary @rosemarya that all medicines come with some level of risk and it boils down to a risk vs. benefit decision at some point. I would also recommend talking with his opthamologist and the doctor about the pros and cons of his treatment.
I would also think your husbands thoughts would be important on the choices.
John

@john and @debbra - thank you both. Answering your question Debbra, yes, he was tested last week and found to be allergic to several of the specific elements in the hip. Of course, he will be the one who makes the final decision after he hears all the pros and cons. We are hoping that we will hear from others who have faced a similar situation...
