Driving with MD
This post is directed at Wendy regarding her 90 year old father. Wendy, you state that your father had injections for many years - until 90 and he was able to drive in spite of diagnosis. While I dislike assuming anything, I am going to assume since he was able to drive, he was also able to read. Is that the case? Thanks...
You may have stated that already but I couldn't find it. So sorry to be bugging you. This is so good to hear.
Another assumption: He had both eyes and it was wet amd? I guess I'm chasing this hard - my right eye will never be fixed or fixable so my healthy eye has gotta stay healthy!! If not, I see that injections do work for many - as in your dear dad. Thank you again, Wendy.... LeelarsWendy - you are so welcome and so appreciated -- Indeed, the possibilites are endless with we humans. What "was the was" for your father may not be the same for many people. You certainly did yeoman's work for your family - I do hope your eye treatments follow the luck of your father through his treatments.
I will hold out hope that what was reported after my first two injections - "responding well to Eyelea" will continue, if -- god forbid - I suffer wet in the other eye.
I cannot imagine a life without reading and visualizing -- cannot. I must, as you must, and all who suffer this terrible disease -- get "fixed" --
Thank you again. You are most generous in your posts regarding your father's history and time. I'm glad you had him in your life for such a long time.
Leelars...😀I am so sorry for such losses - so recent. Parents are such special people - I lost my mom about 20 years ago and still miss her.
You have been on this forum for a while as a patient leader. This is only a request for an opinion - in the many posts you have seen, do you think most people benefit from the injections? From what I have read online, the consensus from the drug companies (naturally) is that they do work --
Thanks for good wishes and I wish the same back to you and all who are dealing with this terrible disease.

Hello Wendy and thank you. Tis a devil of a disease. To have both the dry and the wet in the same eye - thereby inhibiting the effectiveness of the treatment - is hard to fathom. I guess we just have to hope like hell - we only have one type at a time.
Your input tells the story based on your personal experience and your knowledge of the disease -- most appreciated. I am very happy to hear you say the injections work for most people -- let's hope we are in the "most"..
I am just going to keep hoping - for all - for a cure!!
Leelars...😀
