Just met a lady I used to know from a few years back. It was in the Eye clinic at Addenbrokes hospital. She has to have a course of injections direct into her eye. I said that I could not even think about having such a treatment. She told me however that the only other option for her condition was to go blind!. She has now got over 75% vision where a year ago she only had 10%. Apparently it has to be done while you are 'awake' but with local anesthetic in the eye!
