Wet amd treatment
Have newly diagnosed wet amd in one eye. Uncertain whether to start the injections.
the injections are the only treatment option for wet AMD. Delaying treatment could possibly result in vision loss. Are you under the care of a retinal specialist? Usually injections are started right away when wet AMD is diagnosed. Here is a link where you can read about the injections https://www.aao.org/eye-health/drugs/anti-vegf-treatments
Warm wishes, Sharon Moore Patient Leader
it can be a bit confusing when you are first diagnosed. I have dry macular degeneration, but my retinal specialist wants to see me at any time if I notice a change in my vision. She wants to catch wet amd, if it happens, as soon as possible. She told me it is vital to get the injection at the earliest possible time. The best chance of successful treatment for wet amd is if it is treated promptly, if that is what your doctor has recommended. Please reach out if you have any more questions. Wishing you well, Wendy, Patient Leader.
