I had been going to a local opthamologist for macular edema. He gave me two Eylea injections. As far as I know, he did nothing else. The first
injection helped quite a bit but I couldn't see any difference after the second. He said it reduced the retina swelling. He said he can't do
anything else for me.
My main problem is gaps in the image of that eye which would make driving
and reading difficult with that eye.
Anyone know - hopefully from experience - whether anything more can be done for this condition? A friend has the same thing and went to a retina specialist instead. He only got one Eylea injection and his eye ended up in much the same condition as mine.

Can't help at all, but I sympathize. My mom had a macular hole which
caused problems even after some surgery by the Doheny Eye Institute
(maybe 15 years ago) when it was under USC. Doheny and the Jules
Stein Instutute (both under UCLA) are probably as good as it gets as
far as eye specialists. Are you near Los Angeles?

A few hundred miles. But I'm not fond of driving anywhere in CA,
especially Los Angeles.
