Hi my mum has this macular degeneration and having treatment as I speak can either type be cured I worry far too much but I'm her son and she needs me more than she knows equally I need her because of my mental state after I/ we lost dad so this is how im looking into the cutting edge of science to help her something must be able to rid this horrible predicament 😳😳😳😳
Recently I was diagnosed with AMD I received treatment right away. My vision is perfect now. The treatment is no fun but it is worth it. I can read, drive and my vision is great. I didn't like my first Dr so I moved on to another Dr and he did a 3 he evaluation and I'm very happy with him. 😎👍
Choroidial infarct is what i have dx by a retinologist, but needing avastin every month...being sent to a different retinologist that specializes in rare cases...my vision is fine but i have floaters , one us long and feathery
Thank you for your video. May I ask if it is possible to partially loose vision, like darker visibility plus distortion overnight with no previous ocular history. I am told its Wet AMD but how is this possible without any early/intermediate history? There is no family history nor diabetes. The only thing I have suffered is 9 months of unrelenting terrible stress bought on by others. Do you think this may have caused this please?..
Doris, something is not right if you are having that kind of pain!! I have had several & that is not my experience at all. If you have not already done so PLEASE tell your doctors office about your amount of pain. God Bless...
@@evelynrespass5385 thanks Evelyn.I have discussed it and last time got an anaesthetic injection as well as the drops. I still felt severe pain At the injection though no pain afterwards. Another injection in a few weeks. Dreading it.
Any one of you , can we talk or chat or get in contact somehow ?? Please !! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I am in deep sorrow and pain about this dreadful disease. As it has affected someone I love and it’s killing me every day… we already tried avastin n then brolucizumab and she already almost lost her central vision and she can’t see her face in mirror and straight lines seems wavy and can’t see my face.. please any one with experience and knowledge please let me know if we could get in contact.. this girl is just 26 years young and she got two hemorrhage within a short span of 45-50 days.. please in request you and one with knowledge and experience or who dealing with this scary disease and have seen some betterment or recovery please contact me or reply me on this comment. Thanks may god bless us all.
Thanks for the excellent way I which you explained AMD. I have just had evastin Injections and hoping it's going to do the trick. I understand so much more now
I'm suffering from wet amd. And i'm currently living here on Philippines.. i have all the symptoms yet my local ophthalmologist can't detect or don't know what it is.. I'm pretty sure they haven't figured out what's wet AMD is. I'm only 23 years old and suffering this when I was 19.. my left eye is now totally wavey and dark.. now my only good eye which is my right is now showing symptoms. I'm losing hope that I'll get this treated.. any tips.. or help.. i'm at the point thinking, before I lose it all I'm going to kill myself
Ray, PLEASE don't give up.. I know it's terrifying because I'm recently diagnosed too. I also have a long history of depression so I'm right there with you. But research is making astronomical progress so prayerfully all of us will get help soon. I know your post was a while back - I hope you are ok..
@@evelynrespass5385 Reach out to Doctor Alan Ho at Wells Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. He is THE BEST in this field and highly respected. I go to him for treatments.
VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) is not the culprit of macular degeneration. Blocked Bruch's membrane is the culprit of macular degeneration. If drusen/lipofuscin can't be excreted from RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) to surface of cornea, it's impossible to effectively treat macular degeneration. Furthermore, if Muller glia, deemed to be retinal adult stem cells, can't be triggered for regeneration. macular degneration can't be reversed and vision can't be restored. Nano-grade eye drops should be the last-ditch treatment for macular degeneration. All glory belongs to God !
I'm a 76 year old T1 diabetic recently diagnosed with Dry-AMD and this is one of the
best videos I have seen on diseases of the retina. Great job.
Most informative lecture on AMD, even for a non-medical school trained person can follow. Thank you!

Why don't eye doctors talk to each other.
No mention of diet as main cause?

I get injections of eylea. They are so excruciatingly painful I live in dread and drops don’t seem to work. What do you recommend for pain?

@@louisperazza3717 thank you so much.
Hello Ray, did you get help for your eye condition
you need an opthamologist not optometrist, and most importantly what is called a Retina specialist to help you
Or is a treatment
Jayden’s edits I pray for you
Brittiany Edwards I don’t have anything wrong with me I’m just trying to help people out but thanks
