Latest Injection - #3

I had the third injection last week - I have graduated to a 5-week schedule. My visual acuity, while still not great, improved to 20/150. I am hoping this is a trend -- he also said my chance of dry (other eye) going to wet is 5% - 10%. That is also an improvement. He originally said 10-15% - not sure why that changed. The pressure I felt this time was a bit more intense. No big deal however. Once I got home, I popped a couple of Advil - much better. Hope everyone is doing well outside of this dreadful disease. Peace.

  1. thanks for the update. All in all it seems it was a good visit with some improvement in visual acuity. I get my next injection the 24th and hope for good news. Warm regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

    1. that seems a good result, overall. I had four injections until the doctor spread them out to 6 weeks. It would be interesting to know how they decide. Hope things continue to go well for you. Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.

      1. Hi and thanks for your thoughts - both.😀
        I was somewhat encouraged but know the road is a long one. Best wishes for good results going forward.
        Wendy - I saw a story today that said Sydney is one great place, if not the best!! Sure does look like an interesting city. Enjoy!!

        1. thank you. Yes, Sydney is a great place. My doctor's practice is on the 13th floor of a building which has a great view of the harbour, the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. I mentioned the view to him once, but he just looked at me as if to say, "We're not here to talk about the view!" I learned the "no chat" rule quickly! Wendy, Patient Leader.

      2. Well, his loss. You just quietly enjoy the view...

        1. I'll post a photo one day. Have a nice weekend. Wendy, Patient Leader.
