Seeing a red spot in one eye
I'm seeing a small red spot from my right eye for the last 3 days. It moves when I move my eye. I had 102 fever initially which has now subsided but the spot remains. The ophthalmologist I went to diagnosed PVD and suggested investigations. I'm diabetic, high BP, I smoke, f 63. I'm looking for a second opinion on what I should do, as I'm told PVD is not curable.

Hi..
PVD is a natural aging thing and very common
A retina check up is must to rule out any associated tears or bleeding etc..if those things ate fine..no need to worry ...slowly the spot will decrease or it will stop bothering you so much.
Some medication must have been given , i am presuming.
Keep Diabetes, BP under control , try not to smoke or less at least.
Do regular eye checks..n see the doc immediately if there is increase in spots, flashes of lights or decrease vision,

Yes, PVD is not curable.
But red spot should not be due to that.
