PHOTODYNAMIC

Hello my name the Lourdes and I Live in Mexico. I have maculopatia and retinopatia miopica.. A few days ago behind have proposed me the so called "PHOTODYNAMIC" therapy and the injection "AVASTINE". They say to me that it should help to improve, but I am very afraid of losing  the small vision that I have. I use contact lenses with graduation of -20 and -18. I feel very distressed and i would like that  you were giving to me advice(council). Also they offer me an injection  called lucentis. And another retinologo  offers Triamcinolona.
Please help me, I need the opinion of an expert to take the treatment  appropriate to my problem.
From already thousand thanks.

Lourdes.

Thank you very much for your response.
I believe I will apply Avastine since it is also  cheaper  than lucentis.
