New injections for dry AMD
Anybody starred those injections yet?
Hi there! Thanks for inquiring about this. It doesn't look like anyone in our community has started the new eye injections yet, but the moment I see more information about it I'll be sure to pass it along! Best, Abby (Team member).
Thank you
My Retina Specialist mentioned these injections at my last 6-month visit but said he thought they would be a hard sell since they would have to get monthly injections for the rest of their lives. He also said I would not yet be a candidate since it’s for advanced stages & I am at intermediate. Hope that helps! Linda Hoopes, Team Member
My doctor mentioned them too. She said that unfortunately they increased the risk of the dry turning to wet (which we have already read about) and then I would need injections for both. I asked her if they could be done at the same time in that situation, and she said they probably couldn't be done together because the timing for each injection would be different. She didn't imply, however, that it wasn't worth doing if I got to that stage. Wendy, Patient Leader.
Thanks very much
all of us with dry macular degeneration are waiting with interest to hear from the first one in our Community to have this treatment. Wendy, Patient Leader.
