Genetic cause of MD

I hope your second injection went OK. Both my mother and my father have AMD, one dry and one wet, so I really didn't need genetic testing for this, unfortunately. I now have dry AMD. Best wishes with your injection regime. Wendy, Advocate.

How are you feeling since your eye injection? Best, Abby MacularDegeneration.net Team Member

I've had three injections with Eylea since the end of January. I have noticed that the eye with WMD has alot of discharge at night, more than the usual 'sleep'. It is more or less clear, but dries up crusty and crunchy (if that makes sense). All down my cheek on that side I have flakes of dried discharge, so it must happen during the night.


My eye doesn't hurt, and I just use warm water to dissolve the crustiness in the mornings.


I do notice now that my vision isn't very 'sharp' especially when it comes to reading. There is sort of fogginess and sometimes some of the letters seem double?


I have always had very sharp visual acuity,, so this MD is changing my vision, which is to be expected of course.


I'm taking the supplement capsules twice a day.


I have my 4th injection on April 23.


Thanks for asking, Abby.
