Eye Injection
I had an eye injection for Myopic Macular Degeneration with Lucentis three years ago. I had my second Lucentis injection almost two weeks ago because I was seeing wavy lines and a gray spot. I didn't have any side effects with the first one. With the second injection I still having blurry vision, wavy lines and a floater or a dark spot that moves. Will these go away? Have I not given this enough time for these effects to dissipate? Thanks for your input.
I guess my question is did anyone else have these side effects after a Lucentis injection. And, did they dissipate after two weeks. I understand that I could have some blurry vision or floaters after an injection but these are supposed to go away within days or a couple of weeks. Did other patients experience these effects and did they go away? Are these just side effects of the injection or is it the MMD?
Hi,
, I’ve been getting Avastin injections for almost 5 years. Normally the blurriness and floaters disappear within a day or so. Twice I had millions of tiny floaters that gradually disappeared over the course of about 3 -4 weeks. I didn’t have the wavy lines you mention. I told my RS, who just added it to my file, and said it sometimes happens. But I agree with Wendy, definitely discuss anything different with your doctor. Please let us know what you find out. Sending positive thoughts your way, Cora Lyn, MacularDegeneration.net Team Member I went to see my retinal specialist recently. I still have the wavy lines and I see a spiderly spot in my eye, but there is no bleed. Also, the blurriness went away. The doctor feels I am doing OK. I can read, drive a car with my glasses for distance and feel great about not needing another shot. I see the doctor again in three months. Hopefully, my eyes will be fine. I am grateful for your input.
To say I was thrilled is an understandment!!! Thanks for the good wishes. Terry
