Continuation of eye injections after bleeding stops?

When should injections cease after no bleeding for several months?
My eye history is complicated. I was diagnosed with wet Mac. In my left eye several years ago while living in NY. Was treated with Eyelea for about two and a half years, and then injections no longer needed as left eye fine for over six months. However, my right eye began to bleed and a series of Eyelea was started. After About eight months bleeding ceased and at the same time I moved to Florida. I continued to see a retinologist in Florida who treated my right eye with Eyelea. There has not been any reoccurrence of bleed, but the Fla. doctor wants to continue shots of right eye every three months. He however does not suggest the left eye be treated. I feel I should be seen regularly but given injections only when they are needed. Am I wrong?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Eye Conditions Support Group.

When I don't have bleeding, my doctor leaves the decision up to me, reminding me that bleeding/wet AMD often returns aggressively. I've been extending the time between visits. RD says Vabysmo will be out of my system after 4 months and there's no guarantee when a bleed will occur after that.
