Talk to Eye on Vision Problem
Asking for Father, Male, 54 years old, Malir Cantonment, Karachi
My father is experiencing blurry vision since 1 month, he's diabetic and high blood pressure patient with high cretanine level. He got his OCT done and dr said he has cataract in his both eyes also retina is effected due to diabetes. He suggested 6 injection shots of Avastin per week and then he will do cataract surgery. I want more suggestion, should he go for surgery first or injection? Or any medication for retina recovery ? Will his vision back to normal or any other treatment would do?
As your doctor said he had to start injection which would be monthly injection thẹn doctor will proceed for cataract surgery, your doctor is on right track so fellow him also in mean while control his diabetes and blood pressure it will him a lot . Have consultation with physician for risk factor control

First go for avastin and then cataract surgery and vision recovery also depend on control of diabetes and blood pressure

First you go for avastin because retina health is most important for good Vision. If retina is healthy then cataract surgery will give good results.
As you told Dr. suggest Avastin injection then go for it.

he is right.first of all it is strongly recommended to control diabetes, secondly go for avastin as if not treated it can cause detachment of retina and finally surgery

As per research cataract surgery may also have reason for progression of diabetic retinopathy and DME injection will provide cover to patient before and after cataract surgery
