I have now had 22 Lucentis injections and three Eylea injections and must say since having the Eylea injections my sight has at last improved.

Hi lizzie, glad to hear the eylea is working. It gives me hope in case the Lucentis doesn't do it for me.

My floaters are worse after each inj but I suppose we just get used to them.

Yes, painkillers pre inj are a must lol x

Enjoy your weekend.
