Hi Nefat. No, they aren't a permanent feature as far as I know. I have them sometimes and when they occur, I know that fluid has collected behind my macula again. Usually, once I have the injection, it goes away but does reoccur when fluid appears again. This does not happen with everyone as injections are very successful for some people. Hope yours will be fine. x

Thanks for your response. I guess I will just have to wait and see how things progress but your comments are encouraging.

Hi Nefat,

I have had eye injections for 3 years now. I always have a very slight waviness but nothing that really bothers me, I hardly notice it. The good news is that I still have excellent vision. Stay positive and you will be fine!

Thanks for your encouraging remarks.

I think I must be the exception because I have permanent distorted vision and I have dry MD.

I guess everyone is different. Keeping my fingers crossed that the injections will improve things. If it doesn't get any worse I will be thankful.
