"My vision had deteriorated significantly from advanced diabetic retinopathy. I started on Lucentis several years ago, but the eye shots were more frequent. I switched to Vabysmo when it first came out and was approved. My vision has improved dramatically. I did have several cardiac incidents, but they don't appear to be related to Vabysmo. I get shots every 10-14 weeks now. I have some floaters after a few weeks. I've had approximately 30 injections (combined for both eyes - I get the injections done separately). This medication has been very effective with very few side effects."

"I got an injection of Vabysmo for DME in my right eye 10 days ago. My vision cleared up almost overnight. However, I have Myasthenia Gravis and had received injections of Avastin a few years ago that seemed to work without causing a flare of my MG symptoms. The retina doctor always wants to try new and improved medicine all the time. I had a reaction to Eyelea he tried too and stopped injections because of it. I am going to report this to him also and not get any more injections. My eye is still very red, and it feels like pressure in it and aches constantly. I am very weak because of the MG acting up and have extreme fatigue."

"After 3 years of regular Eylea injections, with only a few weeks of subsequent short-lived marginal improvement in vision following treatment, I was converted to Vabysmo in January 2023. After the first injection, improved and maintained vision was clearly noticeable, and after 4 treatments at 4-week intervals, retinal scans showed a dramatic, almost complete elimination of retinal swelling. For the first time in 17 years, almost perfect (84/85) vision! I am now beginning a 12-week interval before the next treatment. Side effects: I am beginning to suspect that a significant change in my bowel movements might be related to the new treatment. I will be looking out for any changes as a consequence of an extended period between injections. In summary, an exceptional result so far, especially after a long period of poor sight in the one affected eye."
