Re: Eye Pain
I know several people who have floaters. They say it's extremely frustrating. I really feel for them. Does the eye drop that treats iritis also treat floaters? Or do floaters require a different medication? I would need to get some health insurance quotes before I could get prescription medication.

Re: Gluten Free Diet & Uveitis
It's so interesting that you had problems with gluten even though neither of you had Celiac disease. I'm growing more and more convinced that gluten causes a whole slew of health problems.

Re: Avastin injections
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your explanation. It was very helpful. I was recently diagnosed, so I'm still trying to figure out what my options are.

Re: Avastin injections
Have you ever tried these Avastin injections? My doctor hasn't mentioned this treatment to me yet, I wonder if he's familiar with it. Is it covered by low cost health insurance? I want to wait and see if there's anyone I can talk to about it before trying a new treatment.
