| |  A Bleeder
Yes I have a bleeder in my right eye so no more sharp resolutions.  It started when I had a nasty cough and then I saw it flowing so now everything is just a blur in my right eye. |

| | | Peter, I am so sorry this happened. Have you seen a doctor yet? I hate it when anything happens to my eyes, so I know you must really be bothered with it.

| | | I agree, get it checked out as soon as possible, if you haven't already. I had this happen to me last month & they had to do laser treatments on both eye, but the good news is that I just have a tiny spot that's abit blurry now & it's above the focal point, so I barely even notice it now...but I know if I hadn't had the treatment, it would only get worse. |

| I take it they don't normally bulk bill where you go?
I've been getting laser in both eyes for the last couple of months and I've been bulk billed every time. Good thing too as I couldn't have afforded it otherwise.
Could you go somewhere that bulk bills? Or maybe talk to yout optho? If it's the difference between getting treatment or not, they may be willing to bulk bill even if it isn't their usual policy.

I was 5 weeks getting lasered. Take it easy now and hopefully it will not bleed anymore. No more coughing! A minor peripheral one may not need laser anyway. |
