Wet Macular Degeneration: What treatment helps you?

Bill, did your doctor only give you eye injections in eyes that
were "wet" (i.e. actively leaking)? Or did he also inject an eye that had stabilized - that it is, had stopped leaking?
Having a lot of trouble with mine who has stopped treating my right eye which is not currently "active" saying he will only inject it if it has a recurrence of bleeding.
Seems to me that is too late to protect me from (permanent)
further loss of vision in that eye.
(And what "signs of turning wet" did your left eye show so that your doctor began injecting it too?)
Thank you.

Hi and thanks for your reply.
The retina doctor in Augusta started injecting the left eye before it started "leaking"...the current doc is doing the same. I think you are correct...if you wait until it hemorrhages, that is too late. I had no symptoms of the left eye going wet, but he pointed out how the scans showed symptoms so we started treating it.
As for the right eye...it started hemorrhaging and the ophthalmologist looking after my vision at the time started treating it with Avastin...later switched to aylea. Hope this helps! Symptoms were the telephone poles along the road were bending in the middle and the white stripe on the edge of the pavement had a wavy look to it.
