"My Mom started treatments earlier this spring. First shot did not seem to do much. Since the second shot (in the eye) her vision has been getting better. I note that she is not needing the special fluorescent light to read now. So far, so good."
Glad to hear that. Very glad. Until it is lost, we do not realize how crucially important optimum central visual acuity is in EVERYTHING we do.
When was your mother first diagnosed with exudative ARMD?
More apropos, when did SHE first notice that her vision was functionally decreased?
When treatment was first initiated, did it seem to her that her vision was still in the process of declining?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
She first noticed after laser surgury for skin cancer on her nose (abt 3yr ago? coincidence, who knows.) Diagnosis was a couple years ago as I recall.
If you know who is who, she is going to a retina specialist that covers the Pacific Northwest. I understand there is one other Dr. like him in LA. Fortunately he is 45min away. I've heard one patient came in from Montana as I was waiting during one appointment.
Also, as I recall, the retina Dr. did try a laser, to no avail.
