Hi Christy,
I know what you are going through. I had the same level of problem with Iritis. I've been battling Iritis on and off for 8 years. I then seemed to get it to the point that it wouldn't go away. My eye doc just kept having me put the pred forte in for a few months and kept telling me that my lack of vision was cataracts. Well, I ended up with severe macular edema which lasted for months (which sounds a lot like what you have). I finally was referred to a retinal specialist, and he did inject my eye 3 times with steriods I only wish I had gotten the treatments earlier and perhaps as it would have turned out better. ,After my injections then did additional florscene (sp?) scans and then another photography (OTC scan?). He told me that my retina was "thickened" and can no longer be repaired. Bottom line is that I'm legally blind in my left eye now. This all transpired in about 6-8 months. I was told that if I had come in earlier (to the retinal specialist), I could have had the same procedure you are considering, but since my macula is scarred, it will not help. I now only can wish I had gone earlier so I could have had it done! Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.
Bruce
