Perfect Solution for retinopathy
Hi,
My father aged 50+ is a diabetic patient and he is having retinopathy in his both eyes last month doctor asked for injection + laser.
For injection they gave option avastin or accentrix we choose accentrix as the price was more then avastin it was only 10,000 and accentrix was 23,000 and laser too we did now after one month we came for check up the same doctor is not available and another senior doctor asked for ozurdex injection.
What the hell is going on I don't know.
And also kindly let me know for how many days or month we have to take these injections and is it monthly or quarterly or how it is.
Kindly help.
I am very much depressed, as it's eyes.
