Pigment epithelial detachment – PED Macula

Letter explaining I have retinal atrophy and small ped detachment

As well as Macular Dystrophy, I have a Pigment epithelial detachment (PED) which means that there is fluid, drusen, tissue or blood filling up, making a detachment at the macula which is in the retina.

I need to find out if this will get worse or can be treated.

Mine has been observed in the right eye at the macula.

This is why my right eye is the worst for me and has been giving me problems. This is why I think the black blob appears sometimes.

I will ask about this in more depth when I see my consultant again and if this is related to my condition or just bad luck.

Still waiting now on an ERG and then appointment to go back to see my specialist again to see the results of all the tests.
