Hi glynis65 I've had the injections but no good I still have one good eye so that's not bad .peter1947 xx

Sorry to hear that Peter.

Let's hope they find other treatments and maybe help your other eye.

One good eye is good news also.

My inlaw is 78 and really help her and can tell in her vission when she is due a injection...lots of love glynis

Hi Peter, I haven`t been diagnosed with AMD but am awaiting an appointment from the hospital. Saw an optician on 22nd Dec and he said there is definitely a problem with my macula but he wasn`t sure what it was. He didn`t dilate my pupils because I`m at risk of Acute Glaucoma as I have Narrow Angle Glaucoma and dilating the pupils causes the pressures to rise. I did have a macula hole repaired in my right eye 5 years ago so it is possible I may have another in my left eye which is the one I am having problems with. Anyway he referred me to the hospital but I`ve heard nothing yet. Lynne

Thanks for your reply Peter. Yes I`m expecting to wait a while for an appointment. Our Eye Clinic has been overstretched for years. For my yearly glaucoma checks I am under the Midland Eye Institute from Birmingham. They come to one our local Health Centres. Lynne xx
