13 months ago I was diagnosed with pvd in my right eye. I noticed some flashing in the corner and went to see my optician. He said the cause was pvd and he found a tear in my retina so sent to me see a specialist. My appointment was 6 weeks later and the flashing had settled by then. The specialist said the tear was tiny (1/2mm) it could be treated by laser but he would prefer not to as if I did develop a detachment it would be harder to treat then. He basically said go and forget about it.
So I did!
Until last week. About a week ago I started noticing the odd flash again in the evenings. I’ve done a little research and read the pvd doesn’t always complete so I’m guessing this is what’s happened and hope things will settle again.
Question is do I go back and see my optician who may want to send me to the specialist again or do I just leave it.
My anxious self is asking my ive not made an appointment already but my reasonable self is saying I’ve been here before it’s ok wait it out.
I feel like I’m arguing with myself constantly.
Anyone been in the same position with pvd?
Should add I’m type 2 diabetic but last HbA1c was 31 and my eye screening back in January came back fine.
