GA and wet AMD in same eye

About a year and a half ago two retinal specialist suggested I start Izervay injections because I had developed GA. I agreed and had no issues. A year ago I changed health insurance and had to get a new retinal specialist. He tried to discourage me from continuing the injections. He talked to me about the risks. Since I had a lot of trust in my prior retinal specialist, I told him that I wanted to continue. This month I was told I now have wet macular degeneration in that eye. I received an injection of Eyelea. The RS felt it necessary to tell me three times during the visit that he warned me about the risks related to Izervay. He does not want me to continue with Izervay injections. I am leaning in that direction. If you’ve had a similar experience, please share it with me.
