Eye injections for AMD are primarily focused on slowing down or stabilizing vision loss rather than improving vision. The medications cannot restore vision that has already been lost or improve your existing eyesight.

The injections work by helping to prevent further deterioration of your vision. For many people, this means maintaining their current level of vision and preventing it from getting worse. After receiving injections, you may experience temporary side effects that typically last only a day or two, including:
• Eye soreness
• Irritation
• Foggy vision
• A harmless spot of blood on the white of your eye

It's important to maintain regular treatment as prescribed by your eye doctor to get the best possible results in stabilizing your vision.
