Wet AMD and Cataracts
I have wet amd and also cataracts. I believe the doctor said it would not help much. Does anyone have any ideas? I also get shots. I am legally blind.
Thank you
I had been getting injections every 6 weeks for 2 years and my world was getting dimmer and dimmer. I thought it was from the amd. As it turned out the injections exacerbated my cataracts and my RS didn’t even realize how much it hindered my sight. Had cataract surgery and my whole world brightened. I changed RS and do not even wear glasses now(except sunglasses)
Thank you for sharing your very positive outcome from cataract surgery. You are so fortunate not having to wear glasses. Do you feel the cataract surgery had any impact on the macular degeneration? Best wishes, Sharon Moore Advocate
No, not really but my capsular bag had a small tear in it when the surgery was done and my new lens had to be placed in a different spot due to the sack being compromised. I have read that this happens more frequently with amd injection patients. However I do not think that the surgery impacted my amd. Same frequency of injections. Also, looking forward to reading how people do with the new Faricimab. I’m hoping to be able to treat and extend
