For months I couldn’t get off the six-week cycle of eye injections for macular degeration. The goal was to go longer and longer between shots. Once before I made it to the 8-week spacing, only to have the eye get worse. This time the doctor tried a more potent medication, and it seems to have worked well. He was pleased, so I’m going to be happy with it, too. After the next injection, I’ll return in eight weeks rather than six.
