A member asked:
I went to get my eye exam and was told there was swelling behind my eyes. i need to see an eye doctor but what could it be?

Swelling behind eye: Usually refers to retinal edema and can be associated with diabetes (most often), but also many other systemic diseases like high blood pressure. The retinal specialist can often improve the prognosis of patients with retinal edema with newly available treatments which could include medications and laser. Without treatment, vision can be damaged irreversibly. Please see one of us!
