Living with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) can be stressful because you may need:
- Multiple eye injections
- Multiple laser treatments.
- Many follow-up appointments.
- Help getting to and from your appointments (if your condition or treatment prevents you from driving safely).
All of this may take a toll and feel overwhelming to you. Remember that your healthcare team is there to help you.
Talk to your providers about how you’re feeling. They may suggest resources to help you learn more about your condition and why all of this effort is so important. They may also connect you with support groups or other community resources where you can talk to people who are in a similar situation. Learning from others’ experiences and sharing your own can help make everything feel more manageable.
