Wet Macular Degeneration: What treatment helps you?

@lvon, I'm tagging fellow members @ktcrosswalk1 @suemer @peggyj4411 and @sut who also have wet macular degeneration and who may be able to share their experiences with treatment options.
Ivon, you said that you tried a different injection and that things were getting better, but then something made things worse. Are you referring to Avastin (bevacizumab) following by Eylea (aflibercept) as you outlined in this discussion?

Did you only get one injection of Eylea? When did you return to Avastin?

Hi. I was changed to Byooviz recently. I now have a blister on my retina. Was getting shots every 10 weeks. Last visit Dr. said no change so don't need a shot. 3 weeks later the blister appeared. Went yesterday and got shot. Have to go back in 5 weeks.
Yes only one injection of Euler that was two years or more. I am doing great on Avastin 20/25 -3 my eye sight is almost perfect. 😊

Yes I only had one injection of Eylea and within 6 hours my eye went 75% darker and my vision was so blurry for 4 weeks. I went from 20/20 to 20/40 in that eye 5 weeks after the injection and I cannot get the inflammation to go away in 5 months now. I did go back to Avastin and It does not help as before the Eylea.
