The cost of Izervay can vary depending on factors like dosage, location, and insurance, and the available literature does not provide a specific price.

Yes, it is fairly common to experience some distorted vision after retinal detachment surgery, as the repair process can affect how well your eye sees details.

It is not unusual to experience some light sensitivity after cataract surgery, though most cases are temporary and improve with time. In some patients, unique factors like changes in the eye's optics may lead to longer-lasting symptoms.

Yes, some types of poor vision can be genetic, meaning they can run in families.

Drooping eyelids, or ptosis, can be caused by aging, nerve problems, or muscle issues. It can also happen after an injury or surgery.

People with photophobia can often find relief using tinted glasses, reducing bright light exposure, and treating any underlying conditions.

Distorted vision means that what you see isn’t the true shape or size of objects—it might make straight lines look curved, or objects seem out of place.

Common eye problems that can affect vision include cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

Sudden blurry vision in both eyes can happen because of different health problems like a mini-stroke, high eye pressure, inflammation of eye nerves, or issues with the blood vessels in the eyes.

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.
