Destruction by Injection

I was told I had macular degeneration by an optometrist. I had thought I only needed a slightly stronger pair of glasses for distance vision.

Side effects from injections

My near vision began to be blurred immediately after the Avastin injections. I had three — my vision became more blurred with each injection.

Before the injections, I didn't need glasses to read. I was near-sighted and never wore my glasses in the house. After the injections, I now need a strong magnifying glass to read.

Finding others with the same experience

Another person I found online said that her vision also became blurred after the injections. Her doctor thought it could have been the scar tissue caused by the injections. That is likely what happened to me.

The wretched injections have made my life difficult and horrible every day, hourly. The people at the clinic say it's natural progression of wet AMD. One doesn't think of progression as being instantaneous because that's what it was. I walked into that clinic with relatively good vision and walked out impaired.
