Will eye injections fix distorted vision like wavy lines?

Unfortunately, eye injections can't reverse vision loss or fix distorted vision you've already experienced. However, they can help slow or stop further vision loss from progressing.

For dry AMD with geographic atrophy, complement inhibitor injections (like Syfovre or Izervay) can slow damage but won't restore vision you've lost.

For wet AMD, anti-VEGF injections can prevent new abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage, which helps slow further vision loss.

If you're suddenly noticing wavy or curved lines when looking at straight edges, contact your eye doctor right away. This could signal that dry AMD is progressing to wet AMD, which requires prompt treatment to prevent faster vision loss.

While injections won't eliminate the distortion you currently have, they're valuable for protecting the vision you still have and preventing additional damage.
