After extensive testing he diagnosed: cystoid macular edema with a great deal of inflammation in that eye.  He prescribed steroids to help reduce the inflammation. As of today, my eye still feels weak sometimes painful. and my vision is greatly diminished. I do not want to have my eye injected, per protocol. or take more steroids. What treatment do you recommend?" Question 5: Jacob 21:17-25:58 "Hi Dr Berne. I love how you educate us of our eye health. I'm a fan and a student.
