Vertigo

I was just diagnosed with wet macular degeneration. I developed blurry vision in my right eye. I received my first shot 2 weeks ago. The blurring has not improved yet. I have been struggling with intense vertigo. I believe it is because my vision is off. Has anyone else struggled with this and what did they do? I called the doctor and was told the vertigo was due to an inner ear problem and that the blurry vision could take up to 3 shots to clear.

  1. Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing vertigo. I know how uncomfortable and scary it feels to have a vertigo attack. I've never personally experienced vertigo due to vision problems, but I'm hopeful that one of our community members can share if they've experienced this. If you haven't done so already, perhaps you can consult with an ear nose and throat doctor to rule out the vertigo being caused by inner ear crystal imbalance. Wishing you well. Please keep us posted on how you continue to feel and I really hope the blurry vision starts to clear up. Best, Abby (Team Member).

    1. Thank you for your advice. Very useful. I will schedule an appointment as soon as possible. I did go online and found the Epley maneuver and tried that yesterday and today. And I have noticed improvement. I’ll let you know how it goes.

      1. Hi, I have experienced vertigo in the past, not due to visual problems. Have you had your blood pressure checked as I have macular degeneration and was dizzy just before my eye went wet.
