Hi.. I have this problem also. It started around 6 months ago. Woke up one morning to see 2 black dots upon the white wall which disappeared when blinking.

I’m heading to my second Eylea injections shortly and was wondering how long the Eylea can dry it up for? I think my vision is improved a little so I’m wondering if there is a chance I won’t need further injections after the loading dose. Is it feasible to hope for this as an outcome?

My mom was diagnosed with PA awhile back and has struggled with proctitis for some time. Is there any connection? Anyone else experience this? Did B12 injections help?

It results in a condition very similar to wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Ranjan Rajendram, a consultant ophthalmologist from Moorfields Eye Hospital, will join the Virtual Clinic on Thursday 28 January to discuss the latest in treatment and research into the condition.

Hi, I have been recently diagnosed with Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy. I have been getting intravenous avastin in both eyes for wet macular degeneration since 11 years (when needed). But my diagnosis is relatively recent. I personally have neither met or known anyone with BCD and wanted to see if anyone

Actually I am happy to say I do not have any so you might wonder why I am posting? I only check in here every few days as it is all very repetitive particularly on statins.

Hi guys, I had my lucentis shot last Tuesday (and a very scratchy shot it was too - my worst in two years).
