Has anyone else experienced floaters after AMD injections?

Yes, floaters are actually a known side effect of anti-VEGF eye injections for AMD. Floaters appear as spots in your field of vision and are among the more common side effects people experience after these treatments.

While floaters can be concerning, they're typically temporary. However, it's important to monitor them carefully.

You should contact your eye doctor right away if you notice:
* Flashing lights in your peripheral vision
* A sudden increase in floaters
* A dark shadow or curtain blocking part of your vision
* Eye pain that continues or gets worse

These symptoms could indicate a more serious complication like retinal detachment, which requires immediate attention.

Since this happened after your 9th injection, your eye doctor can evaluate whether the floaters are a normal reaction or if any follow-up is needed. Many myAMDteam members have shared similar experiences with post-injection side effects, and discussing them with your doctor helps ensure you're getting the best care possible.
