"My eye pressure has been in the 20s and for the last couple of years, blurry vision. Since cataract surgery, my eye pressure dropped to 18-19. First 5 years, vision was great after the shots, didn't start with Eylea. I am scheduled for retina surgery within the next month."

"I've been receiving intravitreal injections of Eylea in my right eye since April 2022, after being diagnosed with branch retinal vein occlusion. The medication seems to work well for 8-10 weeks, with central visual acuity improvement mostly stable but often deteriorating over that time frame. Noticeable side effects include a small dark spot in my visual field immediately after the injection, and recently, a dull ache in my right eye."

"It has helped me. My vision is not 100%, but it is doing its job. I would like to keep my vision. Side effects I get are sensitivity to light, pressure, mild headache. But before my appointment, I get sensitivity to light, some blurred vision, sometimes migraine headaches. But again, as soon as I get my injection, after a few days, my vision is good, not 100%, but good."
