A Good Day (AMD)

Had a good day today. I finally went back to the hospital ophthalmology dept. to tell them of a change in my eyesight, expecting to start on injections only to find that there was hardly any change. My lack of focus in the left eye was caused by a cataract, which they are prepared to remove ASAP.

So still dry.

Good news indeed. I've had similar but from optician, no change from a year ago. I'm to see eye clinic later in the year though. After the bombshell of the original diagnosis, which was upsetting as it is for everyone, I now feel much better. I hope your news and mine goes some way to give comfort to those who have been recently diagnosed., especially as I was told my eyes could deteriorate in months.

It's always good to hear positive news. It's hard not to look on the bleak side when first diagnosed with sight problems. I have just found out today that injections which I start on Monday may improve my sight in the affected eye and the CNV won't necessarily affect the other eye.

Hi mpenning16

That is good news indeed. Hope it will continue for you. Wish you all the best for your forthcoming cataract removal so that you will be as good as new!!! But seriously, I wish you the very best.
