What does the Macular Society say? (Helpline 0300 3030 111). I've been on an antibiotic course, but my eyes have been OK. As far as I know antibiotics don't affect wet AMD.

Its to do with not having an infection if you are about to have an eye inj I think.

Yes it was probably my post you saw as I am always asked if I have been on antibiotics prior to injections and wondered why. As eyesight says it is to do with if you have had an infection. I was unlucky to have a cyst on my eyelid some months ago and they wouldn't inject. I now have another cyst caused by blepharitis on my good eye so just hope it clears up before next injection. Good luck to you.
