1st shot for wet amd

What injection are you having? If some vision is there, it can improve but when there is no vision in that particular eye, then it may be difficult to restore it. However it takes time/repeated injections to see its results. Good luck to you.

Hi Jill, by one shot I assume you mean an injection in the eye. My partner has ARMD and five years ago she too had three monthly injections for wet ARMD. I must make you aware that the injections do not improve your vision, nor do they remove the blurred spot but what they do do is to slow down the gradual progression of the disease. You will end up eventually losing all central vision but you will retain peripheral vision. Unfortunately there is currently no cure for ARMD although there has been some small success with stem cell regeneration for wet ARMD in the UK. This is at a very early stage and it may be some time before it is available to all. The Moofields Hospital is the hospital who are trialling this breakthrough. Hope this is of some value to you.
