The goal was to halt the degeneration, with the understanding that it seldom improves. However, in her case it did improve slightly.
When it became unwieldy for her to go to Tampa for the shots she received a recommendation to go to Dr. Michael Tolentino in The Villages for future treatment. She was told that he was one of the pioneers who developed the process of giving the injections directly into the eye.

Carl, thanks for posting this information, I had no idea we had an eye specialist with this type of background in TV. Hoping someone who has used his office will post here.
