WET AMD

Looking for alternative treatments on the NHS or private to treat my AMD

According to your bio, you have blurred vision in your stable left eye. Blurred central vision is better than no central vision.

If your right eye is good, it should over-compensate for the bad eye and give you pretty good total vision.

Stay with Eylea for the bad eye and SAVE your good eye with an eye vitamin and eye nutrition.

Hi, thanks. Yes my overall vision is pretty good, as you say my good eye compensates for the bad one, but it’s frustrating at times as I work on a PC all day and on my iPad most of the night. I have heard about a new drug brolucizumab which inhibits a protein called VEGF which can be injected. Anyone had this?

Get a 32" monitor/display for work & home.

I've been on for Eylea 3 yrs, have not had new Beovu (brolucizumab)........yet

All the current inj for wet md are antivegf.

I read on line brolucizumab been approved by FDA and EU but NICE site currently says they are still evaluating. Another nhs site sps.nhs.uk medicines brolucizumab states in Feb20 there are some concerns that may limit initial uptake ie a side effect might not make it suitable for all.
