Wet AMD Patients: Injection Schedule
How often are you receiving injections? Do you feel that they're happening too often, or not enough? How does your doctor feel about the cadence of injections?
Your response may help someone who was just recently diagnosed with wet macular degeneration!
I have wet AMD in my left eye and I receive my injections every 12 weeks or so, which is the schedule my specialist recommends. That can vary a bit but I have been on that schedule for about 2 years and it works well for me.
thank you for sharing your experience with injections for wet macular degeneration. Your interval for injections is a great improvement over the typical 4-6 weeks. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader 
twelve weeks is good to hear. Did it take you long to get up to this schedule? I've just started my injections. Wendy, Patient Leader.
About every 4 weeks for 6 months now. It does help.
he did, and I was every 6 weeks, then it showed it was getting worse. Back to 4 weeks now....thanks for asking 😊 at least he tried. It's still early days for you, maybe in the future it can be extended again. Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.
I’ve been receiving injections for over three years, primarily using Eyelea, most recently the HD formula. I don’t really have a stable injection schedule. I had 5 week intervals for awhile, then we decided to try HD. At 8 week and 7 week intervals a small amount of fluid was visible, so now my interval is 6 weeks. I am grateful that I still have 20/20 vision with my glasses.
20/20 vision is amazing. Hopefully you will be able to increase the intervals over time. Thanks for sharing, Sharon Moore patient leader
I've been receiving injections on my right eye for 11 years now (with a one year hiatus early on). I believe I'm on a two-month schedule, but will have to double-check. I started with Avastin and eventually my doctor switched me to Eyelea. My left eye held steady for five years, but in the last year or so I've been getting injections after 10-11 weeks. Had swelling in my blood vessels if we pushed it further out than that.
thank you for joining the conversation with your experience. 2 month intervals is the same I am on. Is your vision still good after 11 years? Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader
