I have been thinking of all of you and wondering how youy are getting on with your vision issues. Does anyone have an update?

Yesterday I had my routine appointment with my retina spcialist for my Lucentis injection. (#3 of a possible series of 4 injections for this round of treatments) The current plan is to spread out my injections with the goal or reducing flair ups for my BRVO (Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion). So my next visit will be in 10 weeks and include a full eye exam and scans. The results will determine if I get to skip an injection.
I know this is a chronic condition and the goal stop any progression of vision loss. I do have a donut shaped blind spot on the cemter vision of my right eye, and my left eye is compensating so that I hardly notice it. I am getting tired of this routine and the anticipation/anxiety that I experience before each visit.

I would appreciate any hearing from anyone about similar experiences. How do you stay strong? How do you cope with the 'dreaded' injection each time?
