[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2007927, member: 101136"] Hi, That's great you got the first one out the way. Not knowing what's involved with the procedure is the worst factor leading up to it. I was told I needed a course of 6 jabs every 4 weeks of Lucentis in the right eye a couple (maybe 3 now?) of years ago, when I was diagnose with this condition which I initially responded to well. But, at the end of the course on the right they spotted an issue in the left eye & ran a course of 6 using eylea. I get checked out & scanned once a month or every 6 weeks.. The left eye has needed to date no more action. But my right has had 4 or 5 further jabs.. My last jab was possibly 4 months ago.? I go for these eye tests & scans see a consultant get a further up close look at both my eyes & out the door in less than an hour.. If the consultant asks how I feel my eyes are doing? I know I'm getting a walk through to the ward next door. ;) My next appointment is next week. Hopefully neither of us will need any more "fillings." :) Wishing all the best with yours.. [/QUOTE]
