My doc is not absolutely sure if I have wet macular but I have definite vision change in left eye ( dry amd in both eyes) and while he says its not typical, he wants to try eyelea or lucentis to get rid of fluid I have on the retina ( i had CSR ten years ago). Problem is I am scheduled to to a 22 hours long haul flight to take care of my ailing mother 3 days after injection. Any advice on how to prepare for the injection itself and the aftereffects, and how long they last,
and how to prepare for the day after the injection,
and any advice on the long haul flight ( 2 flights of 11 hours each)
Thanks, so grateful to have found this site

Hello Nellek. Sorry to know about your eye problem. I have taken eyelia 3 times and every time I fly within 2 days of injection. Once I flew 18 hours after eyelia. The main concern always is infection but eyedrops are good for that. I never did anything special before eyelia except eating light. Four hours after eyelia, I go back to my regular daily routine. I hope it goes fine with you. Good luck.
