For me, it has been better at drying the leakage than Eylea, and I have so far been able to extend the interval between injections from 4 weeks to 8 weeks--hoping to get to 12 (or more) weeks eventually/

Been on it for 2 months. Did not notice any side effects after first injection, but heart monitor test showed much irregular, rapid heartbeat. One week after 2nd injection, on exertion, became extremely shaky, rapid irregular heartbeat. Was in doctors office when it happened. She said it was atrial fibrillation. I called eye doctor office. Need to find something else.

My vision has improved significantly and stabilized since I began vabysmo injections about 8 months ago. I'm very impressed with the results and am now at 10 weeks between injections and hope I'm able to extend it even further. No swelling or bleed!

Burning, eye pain, blurry vision, dryness, actual sore spot on eyelid for three weeks now. I've been on Eylea for 1 year prior to this without any of these effects. I'm doing eye drops throughout the day now. I'm going back to what worked before even if I have to go in more often.

A few days after the last injection my vision in that eye got much worse. The images in that eye are smaller than those in my right eye, and very distorted. I have double vision at longer distances. I don't dare drive now. The doctors say there is nothing they can do to improve this. I certainly won't allow another injection of this.

After 1st injection had eye pain, burning, cloudiness, and large floats that made vision extremely poor. Was able to read magazines, newspaper to almost near blindness now. I am not happy with the end results of this medication.

After 1st injection I had headaches, little dizzy spells, arms and leg pain. Three weeks after 2nd injection I ended up in emergency room with severe dizziness--vertigo and neck pain. Going on three weeks and still suffering.
