Your macular timeline -
depending on which post I read, the order looks different:
• Your Post A: “I had laser yesterday.”
• Post B: “I had 2 eye injections, the second in August.”
• Post C: “At the diagnosis five months ago my doctor did laser + injection + (you mean ultrasonic) altrasonic ".
Macular degeneration is also typically bilateral, if you have the most serious wet type in one eye which can cause blindness if not promptly treated to stop
progression , then, other eye will not be "perfect".
Okay,
It’s easy to lose track of all the procedures. At your Sept 12 visit, you might ask your doctor to write down the exact plan — how many injections, whether the laser is still part of treatment, and how your other eye will be monitored. Having it in writing will make it much easier to follow and share. I suspect the laser was used in crisis mode to quickly seal off the blood vessels because the eye injections were too slow acting. Typically just the newer gold standard eye injections are used, not the older laser treatment which has more side effects. Your eyes were so normal and working so well up to this age that it has been a shock to learn this is happening without your knowing it. I learned I had macular degeneration at age 65 by taking a regular eye exam for glasses and then being referred to a doctor who diagnosed the condition and it has taken ten years before my eyes saw blurry. I have not taken the injections.
Hope your worse eye will stabilize, maybe some of the leaking caused blurriness too. On top of that - Hope someone who is or has taken the injections can respond reporting that they have improved vision.
I looked it up :
I wonder if what you meant by “Altrasonic” was actually an ultrasound test. Eye doctors often use ultrasound imaging (sometimes called a B-scan) to look inside the eye and get more detail about what’s going on. It’s a diagnostic test, not a treatment like injections or laser.
That makes sense if your doctor ordered it at the same time — the injections and laser are the active treatments, while the ultrasound helps them see the structure of the eye more clearly.
