I will keep you posted as things go on. Does your eye feel different than normal…other than your actual vision loss? Mine feels kinda of puffy/ heavy/ tired. I wanted to tell you that I was taking Dr. prescribed testosterone and the eye Dr. said that was likely the reason this happened to me. It had my red blood cells/ hemoglobin elevated and thickened my blood. Sure would’ve been nice for that Dr. to warn me that taking testosterone raises your red blood cell count. Plus, he raised my dosage! Anyways, thank you so much for reaching out and I hope things get better for you!

My eye felt swollen and tired also after I lost my vision for about a month.Now it is kinda getting back to normal as far as that feeling. But if I am tired or read too much it acts up again. There are so many things that cause this vision loss, even Drs are at a loss to pinpoint it. But to put someone on meds that could cause this is appalling. Although the injections I have to take monthly are known to cause vision loss( ironic) even though they are suppose to help with my degenerative decease disease. It is rare but it does happen. My primary care Doctors father suffered a stroke in his eye from repeated injections of Eylea and I am starting to wonder if that is what caused mine.
Wish you luck and hopefully that awful feeling in your eye has gone away
