My left eye is becoming wet MD

Went for my checkup this morning. My vision was really good. But my left eye is starting to show the early stage of wet MD. I go next week to possibly start getting shots. The eye doctor this morning said it is actually good that it is spotted this early. He also said I may get shots for the right eye .
My vision is actually better in my left eye than right. I am not about to let this make me negative or depressed. My life is firmly in God's Hands.

  1. Hi . The earlier wet MD is caught, the better the chances of slowing the progression. You might even see improvement. The statistics are definitely in your favor. So, I'm glad it's been caught early, if though it's not what you wanted to hear. Please let us know how the injection goes and keep us posted. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. I have wet AMD in my left eye and have been getting shots for 4 years now. Mine is stable but I still take the shots every 4 months which is what my specialist advises. The injections are a bit scary at first but very manageable and just minimumly painful for a few seconds. Honestly, I would rather get the injection than go to the dentist. The injections may actually improve your vision as in my case. Wishing you well.
