Retinal vasculitis: This is a serious condition. Would tell your doctor you are not better and or get a second opinion from a university ophthalmologist who specializes in retinitis. You may need intraocular steorids ( injection or implant) , or IV steroids like 1 gram over 2-3 days to stop the inflammation as well as oral autoimmune medications like Imuran, celcept, methotrexate or Benlysta/ f/u/ tomorrow
