missed appointment
I live two hours away from the eye clinic and depend on others for transportation. Every once in a while the schedule/planning falls through at the last minute. My question is if I miss one appointment will I still be OK? I get injections of Eyelea every 6 weeks for wet AMD. I was up to 12 weeks apart earlier this year but the doc wanted to be extra careful cause he saw slight swelling, so he scheduled closer appointments.
I understand that depending on others for transportation can sometimes result in missed appointments. There is no way to know whether or not that missed appointment will have a negative impact on your condition. When my sister who has wet macular degeneration, has to miss an appointment the doctor tries to get her in as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing, Sharon Moore Advocate That's a tough one. Maybe call your doc? I am snowed in as well and live 2 1/2 hours away from the clinic. I canceled but put myself on an on-call in case there is a spot that shows up that fits my time frame and weather. Also, the clinic accidentally canceled my Feb 1 appointment..soooo, I am further out then ever between appointments but the roads are treacherous.
