Traveling with Macular Degeneration

Do you feel comfortable traveling alone with macular degeneration? Do you prefer to travel with somebody else?

Feel free to share travel experiences here.

  1. Prior to being diagnosed with myopic macular degeneration I traveled alone for business. Now I am very concerned about traveling alone. I hope the situation is not presented

    1. I have to visit doctor’s office every 6 weeks now to have injection, I expect to extend longer time later, hopefully 2 months, then I can travel abroad.
      I am injecting Eylea for a while, it’s improving or sustaining.

      1. Thanks, can someone share with me the difference or experience between Eylea and Avastin ? The cost difference is significant , I like to know the value difference. Thanks.
