Wet Macular Degeneration: What treatment helps you?

Good morning Colleen-
I have wet AMD in both eyes...have been getting injections in the right eye for about 6 years now, and the left eye for +/-2 years. I currently get Eylea injections every 6-8 weeks, and I'm grateful for the research being done for the disease, and I've heard mention of stem cell research (some good/some bad results). Wondering if anyone has success with Regenerative Medicine for AMD? Any new Trials out there that you have experience with? My only tip for someone who has been recently diagnosed with wet AMD is get to a quality Retina Center-if you are seeing an ophthalmologist, have them refer you to a Retina Center.

@burrkay, you might be interested in the work of Dr. Alan Marmorstein’s research in macular degeneration and regenerative medicine.
