Izervay injections for dry AMD
I received 2 Izervay injections this year and my vision got very blurry. I am very upset after reading the trial about 10 % had that happen. I stopped the injection and went back to Syfovre shots which I had last year and no problems. Anybody had that happen. My vision got really bad. Thanks for any answers
that sounds very worrying for you. Did your vision stay blurry all the time you were on Izervay? Was your doctor happy to switch you back to Syfovre? Wendy, Patient Leader. no it was opthamologist who I seen first then he saw degeneration and referred me to there specialist.i felt like I was told I have terminal ill cancer. I just try to have hope because they are working on improved treatments all the time. In the meantime I try to think of ways to cope if things get worse. Technology is wonderful these days. It's a great help to me. Wendy, Patient Leader.
I am so sorry you had that happen with Izervay. I recently had my 2nd Izervay injection. So far I have had no problems. Did the blurring clear up on Syfovre? Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader My vision stayed bad
My doc is shocked too. We went back to Syfovre since I had no problems with those shots. I am really very upset wished I never switched @sharon moorethank you for the words of caution. I appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Keep us posted with any changes. Warmly, Sharon Moore patient leader thank you for sharing this warning with us. It's the whole community that you have reminded to be very careful, so it is a very worthwhie comment. Kind regards, Wendy, Patient Leader.
I had a similar incidence with a Syfovre injection. I had my second injection in February and experienced an immediate fogginess that did not subside. I returned to my retina specialist two weeks following my last injection and he could not explain my sudden loss in vision, other than my disease was advancing. My vision has gone from 20/30 to 20/70 since my last injection. I have decided to hold off on getting future injections for the time being.
I just wanted to acknowledge your predicament. It is a very difficult choice to make. We wish to trust our doctors, but experience teaches us to use our own judgement too. I don't know what I'd do in your situation. Sending you my very best, warm wishes. Please let us know how you get on. Wendy, Patient Leader. 
- ANYTIME you feel uncomfortable with a doctor or their diagnosis, it’s a red flag and a sign that a second opinion might be warranted. It can’t hurt and is worth it to feel more confident about your treatment. YOU are the expert of your body and if something doesn’t feel right, it might be a sign to question the suggested treatment. There’s a lot they don’t know about these newer drugs. Take care of yourself & ALWAYS advocate for yourself. Linda Hoopes, Team Member
