Time Between Injections

My new ophthalmologist has recommended for a second time that as long as the wet AMD in my left eye is remaining stable we should skip the injection (Eylea) and check again in 6 weeks ( I began going to her after my former Dr's medical group decided to part ways with my health insurer). At this time it is now 6 months since my last injection, and even though the wet AMD in that eye is still stable I am very concerned about not getting injections. My previous Dr had me on a 3 month schedule even if the eye was stable. I know that doctors can disagree on treatments and length between injections, but I am wondering if anyone else as had a similar experience.

  1. I get Eylea & Mine is stable & I go every 6 wks. He says my vision is at 20/30 but wondering why others go less often. I get so stressed out about each visit!

    1. Thanks. I would love to go without the injections until the eye is no longer stable, but doing so makes me very nervous about what can happen.
