Wet AMD Advice needed

After receiving 3 avastin injection by NHS in my left eye my sight has been stabilised for 3 months and did improve but my vision is still quite blurry.

My question is if an extra injection would reduce the liquid around.

Regards,

I don't have wet AMD but receive similar injections as have oedema in the same way- I think they like you to continue injections until things dry up but of course you need to be guided by what they say about your eyes at present.Hope all goes well

Hi astrali, the inj are to stabilise and can improve a bit but there may be permanent damage which could be the cause of the blurriness.

Speak to your eye Dr. Ask if you have permanent damage or not. If not then another inj might improve things.

They should have told you at your review after inj 3. or have you not had this yet?

Best of luck going forward x
