Avastin #1 Injection

Dr Lai suggested that I had an injection into my eyes for there is still some fluid in the retina.
So, today we check in the hospital at 9:00 am and I was admitted as a day care case in a 6 bedded room.
It is not fun to be in the ward but luckily the other patients are friendly.
Only called to the clinic at 5:00 pm
I was nervous but nevertheless I trusted Dr Lai to give the best treatment.
The injection went smoothly, I only feel a slight prick in my eyes but I was able to see the fluid flowing into the eye.

I managed to drive back to Bukit Mertajam in the condition where my right eye had become blurred.

It was just before midnight yesterday that I first detected that I had a problem with my right eye. Seeing the edge of the computer screen to be wavy, I then try to 'look' into the eye and alas, there is a small patch in the shape of a heart.
My first worry is glaucoma since my optometrist had cautioned me about my high eye pressures.
Today, I had an appointment with a ophthalmologist, one Dr Khoo of Perdana Eye Clinic in Perda, Bukit MErtajam.
It is confirmed that I may have a serious eye problem after looking at the Amsler grid
and Dr Khoo suggested that I go to Gleneagle Medical Centre (GMC) to consult on Dr Lai Yoon Kee.
