Update -- injection for wet amd-right eye

5th injection - Jan 20 - doc says sees improvement. I guess Eyelea works for me - for those who have this dreadful disease, while we may not cure it - we can control it. My retina is very damaged and while I may not gain full use of it, it is better. I can tell.
My left eye - dry AMD - maintains good health...Hooray!!
Best of luck to all for improved vision -- and maybe someday - total cure!!

  1. Thank you for good wishes. Lucky girl - 8 week interval. I am at 6 but it's ok. I suspect after the next (6th) injection I will go to at least 7 week interval.

    This time eyes were dilated - took forever (6 hours) for the fuzziness to go away. He says need to dilate every 6 months. Happy for that duration.

    Glad you received good news about your eye situation. 😀

    1. So -- dilation EVERY time. Boy - these protocols are all over the place - as I said, every 6 months for me - He must have used a strong solution - very uncomfortable for at least 6 hours. Over the years, for many different eye issues, I have had that process and it never affected me so much.

      Good luck going forward and enjoy your 8 week interval!!!

      1. I’m so thankful that I no longer have cataracts. I’ll bet that’s why he has to dilate. An ophthalmologist once told me he couldn’t see my retina because of my cataracts.
