Will you see improvement in your wet AMD soon after getting your first shot?

Vision improvement from anti-VEGF injections can vary from person to person. Some people may notice stabilization or improvement relatively quickly, while others may need multiple treatments before seeing results.

The injections work by blocking abnormal blood vessel growth and leaking, which helps prevent further vision loss. While they can be effective at slowing or stopping wet AMD progression, they may not immediately restore vision that's already been lost.

Treatment typically requires a series of injections rather than just one. Your eye doctor will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment schedule based on how your eyes respond.

It's important to continue with your recommended treatment plan and follow-up appointments, even if you don't notice immediate changes. The goal is to preserve as much vision as possible and prevent further damage.
