I am 68 and have had amd for quite a few years. Treated with avastin for 2 years with mediocre results. Had 3td injection of eylea yesterday.I am seeing slight improvement.Very uncomfortable for a day or two but results seem worth it.

I have had my fourth injection of Eylea after several yrs. of Avastin injections.....The doc indicated the Avastin was not working well and switched me to the Eylea-both eyes...Since last August 2013 my vision has deteriorated but I am unsure if it is caused by the Macular or Cataracts.....apparently it is difficult to determine...

My mother just received her 3rd Eylea injection today and has been very nauseated after this injection. Said she her stomach was a little unsettled with the other 2 injections (which she never shared with me). Wondered if this is normal?
