I’m new, but have to share.
Started first
Eylea
injection on June 12, 2017. As of this date May 2018, have received 5
Eylea
injections. OCT reveals no fluid, but some distortion remains. However, vision greatly improved at 20:35-40. My next injection is scheduled for July.

Positive outcome after 3 eylea injections
After the initial three loading injections my retina has now returned to normal state (flat) and visual acuity has improved from 6/12 to 6/9 in the affected left eye. Quite a remarkable outcome for now. I had a 4th injection two days ago to try and clear very small amounts of "cysts" left behind. The

Too good to treat?
Could this account for the apparent change in my schedule for
Eylea
injections? I was originally told that I would have 3 injections a month apart.

Strange light
Just had third
eylea
Injection for CNV not sure what happens next. For the past 6 or 7 weeks I have been getting a light in central vision. It almost looks like a mirror turning. I notice it if I'm somewhere quite dark or looking at computer screen in dimly lit room.

Retinex Max supplements; worth it or a waste of money?
Just returned from second injection of
Eylea
with no problems so far. Asked nurses if supplements such as Retinex Max (sold by Healthspan) containing Lutein (Free Base) 20mg, Zeaxanthin 2,000ug, Vitamin B2 1.4mg (100% NRV). They said some find it helps but suggested I ask on here.

Getting to know Myopic cnv
I was injected with
eylea
that afternoon and told to let it calm down for a few days. I now have a greyish hole on the focal point. It slightly distorts what I focus on and sucks all the colour out of it as well. I've got an appointment next week, which I can't come soon enough.

Continuing build up of fluid
Had first
Eylea
injection November2017. After second injection my sight improved and was almost back to normal, but following the third injection after one week my sight deterioted though not as bad as before my first injection. I have now had a fourth injection but it has not improved.

Has anyone else had a reaction to
eylea
? I have had a reaction to the past two injecitns of
eylea
. I have a friend taking the same drug treatment for the same condition, who had the same reaction this past month. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Eylea injection
Is there a precise spot where the injection has to hit or is it effective anywhere in the eye. My injection felt like it hit the upper lid a and that is why it hurt

Soreness after injection
I had my first
Eylea
injection three days ago. At the injection, I just felt a little pressure – as described. Walking home, it just felt as If the eye had had a little scratch – as described.

Amazing Painless Procedure with New Doc!
(
Eylea
and Lidocaine) Numbing drops used. New doc said I didn't need dilation each time. No burning with betadine application. (Probably because the numbing drops were done first) . Scan on only wet macular eye.

Exhaustion after Eylea
I am on my 2nd
Eylea
Injection and find myself exhausted. Does any one know how long the exhaustion will last? I felt better this morning for the first time since my injection 8 days ago, but am heading to bed for a nap then I sleep all night too which isn't like me.

Now that is disappointing!
After my last
eylea
injection at the beginning of December I was told I did not need any more for the time being. Went for my scan etc on the 9th of January (no consultation). Today I had a letter informing me that I need at least two more, starting at the beginning of Feb at 8 weeks interval.

A few queries. Is needle size important? Injection in same spot. Diet and supplements.
When I had my first
Eylea
injection someone said to the nurse administering the injection would the needle she was using be okay? The implication was that it was slightly smaller and the nurse said it should be fine.

'Historic' WMD??
I was diagnosed with WMD ( left eye) 4 years ago and have had more than 30 injections of
Eylea
/Lucentis. My sight is 20/20 (6/6) in both eyes and apparently stable though there is still some fluid visible on the scan.

Third Eylea, feeling positive.
My eye feeling so much better since my third
Eylea
injection, hope it's working. The distortion gone, for now, keeping fingers crossed. Taking lutein too. I also had lucentis for nearly a year 4-6 weekly. Eating lots of spinach, eating tomatoes from garden, kidney beans.
