Does wet amd cause any non eye problems like anemia?

I have a lazy eye and since I don't use it, I probably wont be getting GA shots for that eye when that time comes. As to wet AMD, I was wondering if it causes anemia or any other non eye problems that I should get the wet AMD shots to prevent anemia or other non eye problems?

  1. Hi . That is a good question. Here is an article about complications that can come with macular degeneration: https://maculardegeneration.net/complications. I thought you might find it helpful. I have not found anything in our archives about wet AMD and anemia, but maybe someone else will chime in with information. Have you talked with your doctor about the potential complications of untreated wet AMD? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Thank You for your help. I will talk to my doctor about non eye complications of untreated AMD. I couldn't find anything online about non eye wet AMD complications like anemia or other medical problems and so wanted to check here to see if anyone would know.
