Injection again

Have to get injected today after not having one at all for 2015.
Dr Lai noticed there is fluid accumulated and advice to commence a 6-weeks injection series

Today injection procedure is fast and I left the hospital at 1140. But of course the cost is RM1249. 90 an increase after GST.

Experience blurring on that eye for 2 hours at least as I drove back. 3 bubbles in the eye but gone by 1800.
Now I still have redness in my eye and it is teary. Hope it goes away by tomorrow.

Food fight against AMD

The title of a blog by a group people dedicated to fighting AMD. But it seems that the blog had entries until 2011.http://www.macularinsights.com/my-blog/
The articles about the food and vitamins are interesting.

Will my Left Eye goes too?

That's what worries me, will my left eye be affected by AMD? Dr Lai said there is a small risk but how small is the small risk? 90% or 1% or 10%.

Is there any body who can enlighten me on this?

Can It improve

Not sure whether the right eye's vision is deteriorating but I know it is not improving.

Found that it is difficult for me to slice things because the knife that I am holding with the right hand hide the left eye vision of the right side of the knife thus preventing me from seeing the slice that I make.

Found a site about AMD http://www.getwellslidell.com/?p=786

Not Improving

It's been 2 weeks after the 3rd Avastin injection. I do not see any improvement in the right eye.
It is a little uncomfortable to see in the dark as I can see a white patch in the right eye.
Sometimes when the left eye is blocked like if there is a car in front of me and I want to look ahead with the right eye, I can't see some area.
Fine features are a little bit to see, and mentally I don't really like to see.
Will the right eye improved? I had a feeling it won't so I guess I had to live with a partially blind eye.

Bubble Gone

The bubble had gone, no more black dot that floats in my eye.
But I do not see any improvement in my right eye. Looks like there is nothing the Avastin can do to the swelling in the retina.

Losing Vision Gaining Insight

I was googling to get a picture of bubble for the previous and stumbled upon a beautiful blog titled Losing Vision Gaining Insight by Belinda Brasley who shared her experience and outlook of life after having trouble with her eyesight. 
I hope she will continue writing and sharing her views and experiences through this blog
