Wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) is an eye condition which impacts how clearly you see. This can make everyday life challenging.
Explore the links below to find out more.
Blood vessels grow abnormally in the eye
These damaged blood vessels then leak fluid into the macula - the part of the eye that controls sharp vision
The macula swells, leading to blurred vision and vision loss
Slide to see how your vision is impacted:
Traditional treatments for wet AMD may involve frequent injections, taking time away from your day. These injections may also be a daunting experience for some.
But what would it mean if you could preserve your vision with less frequent treatment?*
If your retina specialist determines that it is necessary, you may need an anti-VEGF injection in the gel-like part of the SUSVIMO-treated eye (intravitreal) before your next refill.
Ask your retina specialist if you have questions about your condition or treatment options
Follow the steps on the Amsler grid to check whether you see blurry, distorted, or wavy lines, missing corners, and dark or blank spots.
