For Diabetic Macular Edema "I started with Avastin, then the doctor moved me to Eylea, which seemed better, but last time the change was minimal (might be due to the holidays and cheating with my diabetes more than normal). Not sure, but he is switching me to Vabysmo. For all of you who find the shots or after the shots painful, check with your doctor first. But I accidentally found out that taking DayQuil about 1/2 hour before helps with the aftereffects. I get extra anesthesia before the shots, and if the doctor waits a little for the anesthesia to kick in, you don't feel the shot. FYI, the extra anesthesia is a shot but does not hurt because it is put where there are no nerves. Hope this helps some of you. Hopefully, someday they will find a pill form of this or, better yet, a cure."

For Macular Degeneration "My personal experience has been more positive than negative. The initial injection was conducted by doctors certified for retina treatment. Great care was given to minimize the possibility of infection. I have received 6 separate injections spaced at 6-week intervals. I received treatment at the Roudebush Veterans Administration Medical Center in Indianapolis. It takes a little while to not get nervous about receiving an eye injection. The doctors who gave me treatment were monitored by the lead doctor in the Retina Clinic. Overall, I have positive reviews for my experience. I hope that other drugs may be available in the future to treat AMD and allow longer periods of time between injections."

For Macular Edema Following Retinal Vein Occlusion "I've been receiving intravitreal injections of Eylea in my right eye since April 2022, after being diagnosed with branch retinal vein occlusion. The medication seems to work well for 8-10 weeks, with central visual acuity improvement mostly stable but often deteriorating over that time frame. Noticeable side effects include a small dark spot in my visual field immediately after the injection, and recently, a dull ache in my right eye."

For Macular Degeneration "Hurts a lot! Injected into eye at 3:00. Still in pain at 7:00. I guess I can't complain about a few hours of suffering if it saves my vision. Also, I can't stop wondering why the people who make it charge over $15,000 for the 2 drops put in my eye today."

For Macular Edema "I started to take Eylea injection for AMD. One injection every 2 weeks for 3 doses. Then my doctor advised me to take it in a regimen to increase duration, with 2 weeks interval between each injection (i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks). Every time, I did OCT and macula was dry. Now I am continuing every 12 weeks and thank God, vision is OK."

For Macular Degeneration "My original indication of macular degeneration was distortion of vertical lines. After six injections, these distortions have improved significantly. I am very optimistic this process is working."
