What can I expect from injections?

I have read community members' comments on this site for a few years now, and they mention results all along the spectrum. Some people see an improvement in their vision; sometimes a big improvement. Others see a small improvement. Some see no improvement at all. The main object of the shots evidently is to hold the sight steady. I think the variations in results can come from a number of factors such as: how early the treatment was started, what medication is used, whether scar tissue develops. Sometimes results are achieved quickly and for others it takes a long time. The medication in the injection is sometimes changed if it isn't working. I'm not a medical person - these are the comments I've read from our community which might help you. Warm wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.

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
