My wife’s dry macular degeneration went to wet in her right eye about two years ago, so she has to get an injection in that eye every 4-6 weeks. Seems to be arresting the condition, at least so far. The left eye is still dry MD for now.

It’s a scary thing. I wish you the best with your eyes.

Thanks!

Good luck to her! As the eye shows stability/improvement, they space out the shots further apart. I’m up to 11 weeks in one eye and 6 in the other. Hope to be able to end entirely! No matter how far apart, each time you get the bloody shots it seems like you just had one! Hope she wins over time!

PS
One “trick” I learned, if there is any dry eye at all, use drops for the condition. Makes a huge difference in eye chart performance! I use Systane but there are many choices. My 12 year old dog was basically blind until a vet specialist got him on dry eye drops and he got his vision back virtually overnight!😀
