Endophthalmitis After First Antravitreal Injection

This has been a real journey. The day after injection went to a hair app. The next morning could not see out of the injected eye. Got immediate treatment and constant attention. Three months now can see continued progress in my returning vision and have just received 4th injection. They are not kidding when they predict 6 months for recovery...

  1. An anti viral shot, took a culture, and sieved out some of the fluid Started with 3 drops 4 times a day a dialator, antibiotic, and prednisolone. I gradually dropped the number of amounts and I’m starting my 4th month with no drops. My eyesight is returning slowly. 6 months is not unusual for recovery. I had a hair app the day after injection and I’m afraid some hair got in my injection site. No fun!!!
