I do missrobbie, my employer's group insurance changed hands...and some things are out of pocket. Grant you, I submit those with my income tax return, but you only get a percentage back. Same with some other areas...yet some testing that I thought would be problematic, turn out to be completely covered!

Does anyone have problems with your health insurance not covering all of your eye laser surgeries?

I Nancy1 I have retinopathy too. My left eye has some vision, but it's wonky. My right I is better. I saw so many people with white canes in d.C.'s subway system. It was truly amazing to me.

I bought myself a big magifying glass (a la Sherlock Holmes) to view all "small" things whenever I am partially blind....thats the simplest answer, Shoshana! That is a bummer, though, good luck and PEACE, just remember, this, too shall pass!

Hi, I just wanted to comment on my son's progress with DME treatment. He had a moderate to severe macular edema in his right eye and a slight thickening of the macula in his left eye. We decided to proceed with monthly injections of Lucentus in his right eye. He had one injection and after 2 weeks he was checked to observe the effects. The swelling had gone down 177 microns to 300 microns. His ophthalmologist thinks the contour of the macula should continue to improve for another two weeks. I think Lucentus is a very promising treatment. The only drawback is the improvements aren't always permanent and the treatment needs to be repeated frequently, but hey we'll take it.
