Weight, High cholesterol, and retinal problems

[spiritfilled 32]

Crazy question

I have Retinoschisis. It is an eye disease characterized by the abnormal splitting of the retina's neurosensory layers I also have myopic degeneration and other fun stuff. I was wondering if anyone has ran across a doctor who may have metentioned anything about high cholesterol, and eye diseases?

Like I said, crazy question

Not crazy, at all! Do you, by chance, have diabetes, as well? That plays a large role in eye health. And while weight loss won't stop that type of eye issue, it may stop it in its' tracks. Did you ask your doctor about how weight loss might affect these other issues?

No I am not diabetic my sugars are great. I just have bad eyes. My concern right now is I have a bubble between two layers of the retina and the doctors actually not sure if it's a Fluid level or some sort of assist. So I was not sure if those sorts assist could be related to cholesterol

I am glad to hear your sugars are good, so that is not contributing to your eye issues. Have you tried searching the internet to see what you can find out? Are they going to send you to a specialist, or is the doctor you see already one? If the doctor you already see IS a specialist, they should be able to answer your questions, I would think. Keep after them, you deserve answers, the best they can give. In the meantime, you are in my prayers....all the best to you...

@@CanyonBaby Thank you for the prayers and support. I have done some research on the internet, but have not seen anything. I already see a specialist for my retinal issues. . I have been seeing retina doctors since 2009 I just never asked that particular question and was not sure if anyone else had ran across the same thing or not.
