Good Afternoon leardallan,

There is no limit to how many eyelea injections a person can have, so having the treatment for 2 years is perfectly safe :)

Best Wishes,

Becky

Hi leardallan. I have been having Eylea injections for over two years now and there are many more who have been having them for several years so don't worry, they are helping you. x

Indeed it’s fine I am 4 years on Eylea monthly and altogether 9 years monthly on anti veg-f.

Take care and really hope the injections are helping.

I’ve met people who’ve been having injections for much much longer than that and I’ve been having them 4 years!
