Macular Degeneration: "Eye" don't see you!

Tweet

During my visit to the Retina Specialist today, I got some terrific news! I've been getting injections in my right eye for a couple of years now (usually every two or three months) to halt the progression of Wet (age) Macular Degeneration. The shots aren't painful, thank God and I'm blessed to have health insurance to pay for them (they're awfully expensive.) The doctor told me that since I haven't needed an injection for a year now, I can just go to my regular eye doctor for checkups. He said to be aware of any returning signs such as a dark smudge in my vision and to call him right away. He says there's no cure for the disease, but whether I'm cured or not, I praise God that for now, it seems to be gone! ***If you notice a dark area in your central vision or a dark curtain in your side vision, please, please call your eye doctor right away. AMD and Glaucoma can be halted with the right meds, but they can't be cured or reversed.***
