Thank you for posting this, my dad has wet AMD too and has been taking macu shield but hasn't known if it does anything or not, this has given us a lot more hope!

Hi algee

Glad your wet MD has finally dried up. Well done! Mine dried up after just 3 eylea inj. and was given 2 further ones just to make sure. I have now been without inj. for 15 weeks and no sign of new vascular activity as yet. I wonder how long this lull will last before it starts again. Do let us know how you fare if and when your injections are halted. It seems impossible to find a possible time range of reccurence on any website. All the best.

Not what you're looking for?
