What happens after the first therapy session with Visudyne?

Answering Patients' FAQs about Visudyne
After the initial therapy, I will examine your eyes approximately every 3 months to gauge your response to the previous therapy. Since leakage and bleeding often recur and the abnormal vessels often return with this persistent disease, we must plan to give you Visudyne therapy every 3 months, until the bleeding and leakage are no longer present. Visudyne therapy causes the skin and eyes to temporarily become sensitive to light (photosensitivity).

Should I eat before a session of physical therapy?

PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINIC
It is best not to eat at least a half hour before your session. You don't want to eat a full meal and then lie on a table. Your body is focusing on digestion and needs time. Massage could possibly upset your stomach because of all the stroking, kneading and pressure being applied to your back, in addition to causing the blood flow away from the stomach and towards the heart.
