No. The role of injections is to reduce the fluid level. In the initial treatment phase one would need frequent injections. However one should also focus on controlling the metabolic parameters like hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol levels and any kidney disease(creatinine levels). Once a stable point is reached in the eye, one can avoid injections. However a lifelong retina check up is mandatory to follow up the condition and get treated as and when required based on the eye condition.
