I had dry macular for about five years when it turned wet suddenly. My husband was ill with cancer at the time and I often wonder if stress helped it along. I started taking Avastin injections every five weeks and have been doing this for almost three years.
My eyesight has deteriorated during this time but I also have cataracts. My retina doctor doesn't feel that removing them will help much but I think I will do one soon and hope he is wrong. I know some doctors say it could make the macular degeneration worse and others say it will not, so go figure. I am certainly hoping I will improve even a little.
