Hello All

I have just been told I have the above condition in just one eye. I already cannot read or write now. Can it be reversed does anyone know? Thanks

Hi,

I’ve had macula oedema sorted with a course of anti-VEGF injections.

Have they said anything about proposed treatment?
 
Hi

Thank you, nope, no advice given, just a letter saying I have this condition. Do the injections hurt and have they worked for you?

They use a local anaesthetic in the form of eye drops. I felt nothing.

It worked so far for me. Vast improvement.
It got to the point I was having to use “accessibility” on certain devices. Or my phone like a magnifying glass on certain print.

I still need scans make sure it don’t come back.
but I’ve been injection free for 4 years?
