So happy for you.

You must be so pleased and relieved.

I really liked the Doctor and the rest of the staff.

I've had injections at first monthly, now bi-monthly for the past 6 years. They give you numbing drops. The injection itself still hurts temporarily and the rest of my eye is sore for a few hours but you get used to it. It certainly beats the alternative.

I have a friend that is freaked out about it so he keeps bringing it up!

there is no nerve endings in the eyeball. As long as the needle stays there, it's painless. I had some because of an eye infection that temporarily rendered me blind.

Best of luck

is that it takes patience. I had a spot in my iris that took 6 months to resolve.

I am glad this doctor said they will continue to monitor me over time. That reassured me.

be able to wake up in morning and see things without grabbing your glasses, wallk in the rain, see your feet in the shower (my favorite); etc.

Of course, I wore big think glasses for 60+ years.

Good luck and glad it treatable.

I was nervous about the shot but they numbed the eye very well. It's still feels very gritty but I read that's normal and usually goes away completely after 48 hours. Don't want to jinx myself but I actually think things look much clearer to me already.

That is great about the cataract surgery helping so much. The doctor did note I have them, but agreed with my regular ophthalmologist that they shouldn't have to be removed for a few years.

I'm very happy for you, and also for the information, as I have been myopic for at least 70 years, and, while I'm not currently experiencing that kind of issue, it's good to know there is another and more benign potantial cause.

either. None of my previous ophthalmologists had ever mentioned anything like this as a potential risk.

So glad I decided to go to an eye care institute instead of just my local ophthalmologist.
