new glasses (again) or what?
Been getting shots for Macular Degeneration for years (now only the left eye). 2 doctors confirm that it appears to be stabilized, BUT the left eye is seeing wavy everything with or without glasses making it hard to watch TV, drive, etc. Even that star you see when they are photographing the back of your eye is very wavy now. Got new glasses just 3 months ago. Doctor HOPES putting shots closer together again will help, but says what I'm reporting is "unusual." I'm hoping others have had this issue and would like to know what steps helped.
I was always told mine was wet, but I'll certainly ask next week when I get another shot. Also, in the beginning, the doctor then concentrated on my R eye, and I kept telling him I thought the L eye was worse. Eventually, I was getting shots in both eyes (and now just the Left eye).
Thank You!

Zigzagging L eye update. Last Saturday, the zigzagging lines went away. Eyesight still blurry in that eye, but so much easier to see. Then, when I saw the retinal doctor (3rd time in a month), a bigger surprise was that I could see 5 lines better with my Left eye than I could for a long, long time. Doctor doesn't know why (or even what happened). Hubbie's theory is that something leaked out of my brain and moved something. Seeing a doctor about new glasses even though my last ones were in September today.
I am so pleased you updated the community. you will probably never know why you saw the wavy lines and now why they are gone. I am so pleased that your vision has improved. I hope the new glasses help you see more clearly. Best wishes, Sharon Moore Advocate
