‘Fighting’ for an injection
I am on
Eylea
having already had avastin and lucentis and have had injections every month for 9 years I used to have injections in both eyes but my left one never responded and my sight failed too much to qualify for injections anymore.? It is 1/60 snellen.

Health insurance not covering ongoing Eylea injections
I have just discovered that my private health insurance (gold level AXA PPP) will only reimburse for the first 3 months of
Eylea
injections for my wAMD. Does anyone in the UK have/know of a better private insurance package that will cover longer treatment?

First Eylea injection for wet AMD and my eye was so read afterwards and did hurt!
Really red eye and kind of blooddot in my eye is this normal after first
Eylea
injection? Or is this due to the ophthalmologist and the way she does it?

Eye Injections -Please Helo!
I need the
Eylea
medication, but just cannot handle this! Is there someone out there experiencing this who can help me? The doctors are indifferent and do not care. I need a friend :( Please Helo!

Eylea injection side effects
I received an injection 3 days ago. I am still in a lot of pain and very sensitive to light. In the past my pain and light sensitivity are reduced significantly the day after the injection. Should I be concerned?

Change for the worse after 3rd Eylea?
Hi all, my mum found an improvement in her vision after her 2nd
Eylea
injection but had her 3rd 3 weeks a go and seems to have more wavy lines and darker blob? Could it be the injection moving things and not necessarily for the worse? Thanks

Anyone with CNV still got pregnant?
And I’ve just had my first shot of
Eylea
. Looking around this forum, so far I’ve seen posts where people get monthly shots for years. Just before being diagnosed, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant.

exam without costly OCT scan?
I am opting to use avastin @ $100 instead of
Eylea
due to cost differnce even though i hate that it is preloaded in a silicone lubricated syringe. I had stopped using that when I read of possible silicone leakage into the eye.

Excruciating pain immediately after eylea injections - no betadyne
Nearly a year of Avastin injections and two years of
Eylea
injections, no betadyne being used the last two years because I could not tolerate. Now (the last 4 inections) I have excruciating eye pain after the injection and last time a few minutes of no vision at all in the eye.

WET AMD
Hello everyone, my Mum is having her 2nd
Eylea
injection this Friday. Hoping it will do some good. Just asking for some advice really - I think the Wet eye is quite active and she says when trying to read the paper the words sort of move like a wave.

Dilemma with specialist protocol
Opthalmologist referred me to a retinal specialist whom I have seen every 4 weeks for the last 5 years for avastin-
eylea
injections and now wants to see me every 6 weeks. My dilemma is the referring opthalmologist still wants to see me every 6 months.

Ayayay Reporting
But because I was too ill the
eylea
injections had to be postponed- now for the 3rd time. I will have the ext set of 3 injections starting at the beginning of November. I can tell they are needed. I just hope that not too much damage has been caused.

Sterilization before Eylea shot
Hi all. I am in the USA. I have previously read that, in Europe, Iodine is used to sterilize & prep the eye just before the shot, but some people have a reaction to the iodine & must switch to something else. My Retina Specialists here in the USA use Betadine. For a long time it was fine with me,

What is the Cataract operation and recovery like?
Had my visit to the consultant yesterday and after the OCT scan he said that the
Eylea
(after 9 injections) had worked and that the bad eye which had Wet AMD had dried completely which was good news. He said he would put me on the waiting list for a cataract op for that eye to improve the vision.
