@rosemarya .. I went to an opthamologist the first time I had a floater in my eye. He referred me to the retina specialist, who did a laser treatment for the floater. Then on a followup visit a year later, the occlusion in my eye was detected. That was treated with a series of injections into the blood vessel. I will return for followup in the near future. Hope you can find a specialist who can treat you.

my endochronologist told me that my stage 3 kidney disease is creating my anemia as well as bleeding behind my dry eyes. i am slowly losing my eyesight. perhaps this information will help someone.

@peach414144, Thank you for sharing. I was aware that kidney disease can lead to many other health issues, like the anemia, I was unfamiliar with its effect on the eye bleeding that you mention. There are many people in my retina doctors office who get treatment for vision issues related to diabetes.
Is there any treatment to slow down the progress of your declining of vision? And have you been provided with any assistance by a low vision specialist?
Rosemary

thank you for caring rosemary. if there is any treatment to slow down the loss of vision the doctors down here in florida have not presented it to me. also, if there are any low vision specialists here they are invisible. i am upset with this but not depressed (yet). i am sure that if i would move back to new york there would be help there. but, being 80 years of age (but still dancing) i would need much, much help to make it there. waiting for the "guardian angels" to appear. thanks again. barbara ohhh! am seeing a new opthamologist tomorrow.

@peach414144, My ophthalmologist referred me to a Retina Specialist for diagnosis and treatment. My retina specialist has also has a department that provides the low vision aids ( lighting, magnification, voice newspaper etc ) Unfortunately, all conditions are not treatable, that is a hard reality that we all have to realize.

I admire your attitude. And, yes, I do care. When I experienced declining health, liver failure and kidney failure, and then a life saving transplant, I experienced the inner strength and peace of someone 'caring' about me. And I absolutely love the image of 'dancing' !

Keep on dancing!
Rosemary

Hello Barbara @peach414144

I too love the image of dancing! Makes me want to kick up my feet - slowly of course 🙂

Hi @peach414144... I just saw your post about the relationship between kidney disease, anemia and dry eyes. I have Stage 3 Kidney function due to vascular disease restricting blood flow to kidney. Thanks so much for posting that info; I'll speak with my nephrologist and retina specialist. Am anemic and very dry eyes... Restasis not helping much. Always attributed the dry eye to Crohns and malabsorption.
Sometimes it's hard to tell what's causing what, as you probably know.
Will try to stay in touch more often...
Bonnie.

hey there. i forgot to bring out the fact that i also have sjogrens disease which i think brings out the horrible dry eyes and moth, etc. take care and as my new opthamalogist says: "drink more water".

@peach414144, that's what my nephrologist says... drink 1.5 liters of water daily! I try. 🙂

I have so many health issues, I just don't want to list them at the moment. However, I do want to share with you this: I wasn't blessed with any musical ability whatsoever. I have no rhythm, cannot carry a tune, cannot dance. My husband told me I danced like Howdy Doody. I was told by my music teach I was monotone. I was even kicked out of the children's choir at church. Yes, it's all true. I just have to laugh at it all. God did give me a great sense of humor. When I get to the promised land, I will sing and dance!
