He ran a series of test and told her to return for an Angiogram on the eye with the Fovea. Why is an Angiogram necessary for this type of problem and if the Fovea is still there, is there a cure for it? What can they do for her Fovea?

I have been given dilated eye exam 6 times plus twice was given fluorecent angiogram within less than one year time. One of the doctors had told me that I have retinopathy and some aneurysms. The second last time I went to see him, he gave me my second angiogram. After that, My eyes become very sensitive to light. Any sunlight, ipad glare, night lights, sometimes even room lights. it has been more than two weeks this condition still remains and I got headache while in the sun today.
The new test that usually gives the answer is very easy to do and is called a macular OCT if that is indeterminate than a retinal fluoriscene angiogram (of the eye not brain and carotids) is usally done at the same time. I don't know where you live but retina ophthalmologists would not let your mom walk out the door without one or both tests being done. See if you get her to a retina MD tomorrow. ERs are not equipped to do this testing.
Anyhow, two days before the test was taken I started having a sort of headache behind my right eye and after the angiogram I had very bad headaches that causeed nausea for 3 days straight. As well, I have had before some tingling sensations on my right hand side of my head and in my leg. These tingly sensations i have had off and on for about a year now though.
About the only thing I have gotten from my Opthamologist is that I have degeneration of the retina - deeper and more degeneration in the right eye (which has the blind spot), but also some in the left eye. The blind spot is to the right of center. In trying to read the eye chart with my right eye, I have only been able to see the left side - and can only read the 1st two letters, and usually only about half-way down the chart.
had magnetic reasonnance angiogram no significant abnormalties found wats the definition of this doeas it say its clear or just ok wat were they looking for and have i any worries never explained didnt go bk 2 neurologist.
It makes a world if difference the training of the "eye specialists" you saw. Both should be Eye MD ophthalmologists not non MD optometrists. Ideally one would be an eye MD that specializes in retina/macula/vitreous. You should have some special tests: Macular and nerve fiber layer OCT, Amsler grid testing, visual field test. It is possible you might need a fluorescein angiogram. I suspect you have not had all these done, I would get them scheduled.

Hes also stating that there is restricted blood flow in retina which is causing the blurred vision, black spots and color difference. He has increased my eye drops to reduce swelling and has scheduled a angiogram for both eyes. He stated day after surgery during visit everything seem to be ok except pressure was 38 and eye swollen, he put some drops in for the pressure.
Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I was referred to Hospital by my optician with suspected CSR in one eye . I have all the classic symptoms, blurred central vision, slightly wavy lines and this followed a period of extreme stress / bad sleep. However OCT shows that the swelling (no blood, just clear fluid) is above the RPE layer which I am told means it can't be CSR , instead it is an 'intraretinal spatial cyst' which I am waiting for a further appointment for to be differentiated.
For about 5 weeks I have had unequal pupil sizes. The left eye they suspect is the one not working correctly as it is the larger one. Both eyes do not react as quickly to light as they should. I had a CT Angiogram that was negative.
Then I started having headaches, nausea, and dizziness. So the neurologist sent me to the ER. They did another CT Angiogram that was negative. CBC that was fine and eye pressure test that was fine. They gave me a morphine shot and anti-nausea shot and sent me home.
I had seen an eye doctor becuase of vision loss in my left eye, i had my eyes fully diolated, and went through an eye exam. About 4 -5 days they performed the Angiogram, injected the dye into my arm and started to take photos of the eye. they didnt see anything that stood out so i was refered to the eye hospital downtown. About a week later i went down there had a full diolation done, and another eye exam.
7 montha ago I had an eye stroke. Had 3 surgeries to remove blood and reattachment of retina.
Now poor vision and scar tisses built up.
1. Is surgery only option to remove tissues?
2.Could retina be detached again during surgery.
3.Would surgery help to improve the vision.
Has anyone been prescribed Nevanac eye drops for post Vitrectomy/ERM peel surgery ?
I was prescribed to take this for 3 months (didn't even have the surgery yet) but the online medical information on it says not to take it for more than 14 days or there could be serious side effects.
I'm not big on "blind faith" with what any Doctor just says, especially when it contradicts the warnings to this extreme.
I recently experienced a sudden blind spot in my left eye. The spot appears to be an opaque gray jagged shape completely blocking all light from penetrating. It appears just off the center (macula) of the eye in the +X +Y area using the Amsler Grid. Vision around the spot is intact. My visual acuity is 20/20 in both eyes without assistance. I had no headache, sinus issue, or other health related problem. I am also seeing bright light flashes when I move my eye either to the right or to the left.
I have a blurry / blind spot in my vision as well that is not in the natural place. They did an angiogram on my eye a week or so ago and found a spot that shows that my retina my be changing. I wonder if they will do an angiogram on your eye as well. The doctors were not able to see the spot on my retinal using any other test but that one. The full name of the test is a fluorescein [FLOR-eh-seen] angiogram.
I have had a chest pain 2 months and went and admitted in the hospita under observation and they have taken all the tests related to heart(ECG,Thread Mill,Blood tests,ultra sound and angiogram).After checking all these tests doctors told every thing is normal and you dont need to worry.But in angiogram it is showing 30% blockage.
An EKG is not very reliable to diagnose ischemia or a an MI and requires further testing i.e. stress test, ct angiogram or cath angiogram.
If it is closed (implant vessel), in all probability it can be reopened with a stent. I'm not sure what keeping an eye on it means, but it does indicate it may not be serious, or not taken as anything very seriously. If it is closed (totally collapsed), that can be very serious?! Partially collapsed?! You may want your father to get a 2nd opinion.
