Geographic Atrophy

I believe this is associated with dry amd. Can someone tell me the effect it has on one's sight...thanks.

  1. Wet AND dry in one eye? Wow. I didn't know that was possible. Dry early a few years ago and still early. I have recently learned of wet in one eye - yes, I have had 2 injections so far. Dr. says my eye is responding well to the Eyelea --
    I am very old so I guess it is to be expected - 85 - but I don't have most of the
    attendant threats to cause it. No high blood pressure - no family history - no obesity -- slightly elevated cholesterol - really just age.
    So, had I died 5 years ago, I would not have AMD but I also would not have my beautiful garden that continues to flourish, my new good freind whom I do love and the eastern sunrise I see each morning -- I still have all of those things.

    1. Thanks for your nice reaction to my post. You say you have had 3 or so - will you be kept on the 1x monthly? I thought after the initial load of 3, time was stretched a bit. As in every 5 or 7 weeks ...
      I asked my doc about the EyeleaHD and he said it's too long to go between injections for some people. I do understand that. Must stay on top of this vicious disease. Stay well...

      1. 6 weeks sounds good to me. Congrats...😀
