MMD with 32 years.

I was diagnosed with MMD. I started treatment, I believe, 8 days after the first symptom. My vision started to become crooked and with a black hole in the center that got bigger day by day. After the second day of applying Lucentis, I already felt an improvement. Today, 11 days after the first application, the crookedness has improved a lot, but I still can't see details at medium and long distances, such as words, people's faces, etc. I have 6.50 myopia in both eyes. My concern is whether I will actually have 20/20 vision again after finishing the treatment, which was initially recommended for 3 applications. I know that according to studies, 30% of people who had MMD/WMD never needed to have more applications. Anyway, any help or report on a case similar to mine would be very helpful (is there a gelasses that can help to improve the distortion,etc?) Thank you.

  1. Hi . I see you are new here. Welcome to the community! I don't have experience with MMD, but I found this study that might answer some of your questions: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1857055/. I hope this helps and that you get input from others in the community who have been in the same situation. Here is a general acticle about myopic macular degenertion that might also interest you: https://maculardegeneration.net/myopic.
    Warm wishes.
