Eye injection for wet AMD

I had my injection 5 days ago and my eye is still blurry but My Dr says my eye has responded so well he’s moved my next injection from 13 to 16 weeks. Do the injections just stop the blood vessels from leaking but after a bit your vision does not improve? I’m almost two years out and scared.

  1. the purpose of the injections is to dry up the leaking blood vessels and slow the progression. Some people do see improvement in their vision. Was your eye blurry before the injection? If it is a new symptom you may want to let your doctor know. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

    1. thank you, I’ll call my Dr tomorrow.

    2. keep us posted. Sharon Moore Patient Leader

  2. I was wondering how you are going now that you are a number of days out from your injection. Has the blurriness cleared up? Did you get any additional information from your doctor? Wendy, Patient Leader.

    1. Bluriness is still there but has improved. Dr did not think this was an emergency so I’ll be seen on Tues. I have no flashing lights or extra floaters. I also have a regular eye exam in 10 days too.

      1. I'm glad to hear the blurriness has improved a bit. No flashing lights or floaters is good. Best of luck at both of your appointments. Please keep us updated. Wendy, Patient Leader.

    2. I have a quick question I was supposed to get my eye injection on 6 July that would’ve made it 10 weeks but my specialist moved and my new one is gonna do it on 24 July that will put me at 13 weeks am I OK with the 13 weeks and the PA said to call if I had any trouble

      1. I understand that you could feel a bit anxious about having the timeframe extended. We can't give medical advice here, and everyone is different, but I'm wondering if you have been checking your sight with an Amsler Grid or some other means. If you notice any change, you could probably call the PA. Wendy, Patient Leader.

      2. same issue
