Izervay (avacincaptad pegol) can sometimes cause eye pain, redness, or inflammation after an injection, and these side effects are usually temporary. It is important to follow your doctor's care and report any unusual eye symptoms.

Droopy eyelids can be treated with laser procedures like Endolift or carbon dioxide laser surgery.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) comes in two forms: dry AMD and wet AMD. Dry AMD is the more common form and progresses slowly, while wet AMD is less common but can cause faster vision loss.

Blind spots in your vision look like small gaps or holes where you cannot see anything.

Blurred vision looks like seeing the world through a foggy or smudged window, where details are soft or fuzzy instead of clear.

Exercises for droopy eyelids can include facial muscle exercises and electrical stimulation, which may help improve eyelid appearance but results can vary.

Diabetes can cause several eye problems, including diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma. These conditions can lead to vision loss if not managed properly.

Izervay is used to slow the progression of geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration.

Neovascular AMD, also called wet AMD, is a type of eye disease that happens when new, abnormal blood vessels grow under the part of your eye that helps you see fine details.

Nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), often called “dry AMD,” is a slow, progressive disease that affects the center of the retina called the macula, leading to gradual loss of vision. It is the most common form of AMD and involves the build-up of small deposits called drusen.

Visual impairment means having a lower level of vision than what is considered normal, even with the use of corrective measures like glasses.

Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a serious eye condition that causes rapid vision loss in the center of your sight due to leaky blood vessels growing under the central part of the retina.

Your eyes might feel heavy and tired if you are not getting enough sleep, experiencing a side effect from a medication, and/or experiencing a health condition.

Surgery for drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, can include procedures like levator advancement or other methods to lift the eyelid.

Distorted vision in one eye means that what you see may look warped or out of shape, and it can happen if something is affecting the eye’s lens, cornea, or retina.

Light sensitivity in one eye can happen for several reasons, including inflammation of the optic nerve (optic neuritis) or retinal issues. It's important to see a doctor to figure out exactly what might be causing your symptoms.

Wavy, distorted vision can happen when the central part of your eye, the macula, becomes swollen or damaged, which is often seen in conditions like diabetic macular edema or wet age-related macular degeneration.

Blurred vision in one eye can happen from many issues like an eye infection, a cataract, or problems with the back of the eye such as those seen in macular degeneration.

Wavy, distorted vision can happen when the central part of your eye, the macula, becomes swollen or damaged, which is often seen in conditions like diabetic macular edema or wet age-related macular degeneration.
