My eye feeling so much better since my third Eylea injection, hope it's working. The distortion gone, for now, keeping fingers crossed. Taking lutein too. I also had lucentis for nearly a year 4-6 weekly. Eating lots of spinach, eating tomatoes from garden, kidney beans.

Think it is the case if you already have stones or at risk of stones, depends which research paper that you read, lots of other things do cause stones, dehydration, also too much salt, chocolate even, too much exercise, time in the sauna etc. However I am a great believer in moderation and perhaps I should have said that I am eating adequate amounts of spinach, kale etc. Keeping hydrated with water is a very good way to prevent stones as well as eating enough magnesium, which is also present in spinach ironically. Feel sorry for you kidney stones are extremely painful. I will take my greens but with variety in future.

Me too . . After 2nd injection doc said wetness shrinking so now on 8 weekly since 3rd one. So lucky as oldest brother registered blind (though still smokes and has bad diet so us diabetic) so genes play a part.
