[QUOTE="Jer, post: 1376518, member: 6403"] I was told about six years ago that I had pre age related macular degeneration. My symptoms were a group of blood vessels near the optic nerve in my right eye. My ophthalmologist told me to come in every three months and see if the blood vessels were moving toward the optic nerve. This could cause partial blindness. If that should start happening she would stick a needle in my eye and inject a drug. These examinations continued for about three years and finally she told me I didn't need to see her anymore because the blood vessels had dried up. I did have a yearly eye check with a optometrist and recently they discovered that the problem was back. My ophthalmologist informed my that the condition was worse and probably should be treated. Once started the treatments could go on for years. I had my first a week or so ago and am scheduled for another in a month. It doesn't really hurt to have a needle stuck in your eye after deadening drugs are injected, but is very uncomfortable to the eye for the rest of the day. I am not looking forward to the next stick, but if it saves my vision I am all for it. I would appreciate any input concerning this treatment. It's all new to me. [/QUOTE]
