What can I expect from injections?
One of my eyes developed wet AMD about 4 months ago. I have received 3 injections so far and haven't noticed any improvement. When I ask if my vision will improve I never get an answer. To those that have been getting injections I would like to know what your experiences have been.
Thank you
Thank you
MD seems to be a very personal disease. It can anddoes affect each of us differently. I hope you will see improvement. I'm happy with "stable" meaning no better but no worse. I'll take that. Beverly Dame, Advocate
As an ophthalmologist currently being treated for wet md, I can tell you that early recognition is the key to successful treatment. MD is a binocular condition. watch your sound eye "like a hawk" Look at your amsler grid every day. You might consider a device called "forsee". which will help you track changes. Unless caught early, treatment may control progression but not reverse even early changes. If your affected eye starts to worsen, discuss a change of antiveg f agents. There are several available. aronianmd
your experience as a patient and an ophthalmologist is valuable to the community. I tried the Foresee home monitor but I was told I wasn’t a good candidate. I was disappointed but I do use my Amsler grid often. I have early stage GA. My retinal specialist and I will discuss the latest medication approved by the FDA next appointment.

Good. Stay vigilant. New treatments are in the pipeline.
thank you. I am very excited about the possibility of slowing my progression. I hope your treatments for wet macular degeneration are having the desired outcome. Sharon, patient leader
