Has anyone with wet macular degeneration been asked by their doctor to consider stopping injections if they aren't working any more? A Community Member is facing this decision after more than 3 years, as she's legally blind now in her wet eye. Her doctor says the injections can't help her sight now, but that there are risks associated with stopping the injections, such as retinal/tear detachment, infection, hemorrhage and more. It would be good not to have injections, but the risks are concerning her.
If you have been in this situation, how did you handle it? Did you stop the injections? Were the risks associated with stopping explained to you? Please share with us. Wendy, Patient Leader.
