Vabysmo (faricimab) "I have been dealing with an eye infection after receiving Vabysmo in June. The infection finally cleared up. I was injected again with Vabysmo on September 11. Now I have inflammation in my eye that is being treated with steroid drops. My vision is cloudy with many floaters. I just pray my eye clears up soon."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "I've had wet type Macular Degeneration in my right eye for about 12 years. Started treatment with Avastin, went to Lucentis and Eylea. Each worked better than the previous. With Eylea, I was down to a shot every 9 weeks. My corrected vision in that eye was 20/20, but by the 9th week, it usually began to deteriorate again. We started using Vabysmo about a year ago and my leakage and retinal swelling have diminished significantly. I'm currently at 16 weeks with no visits scheduled for another 2 months. No issues. It's more viscous than Eylea and takes a few hours more for me to see clearly after the shot, but the results are excellent and very much worth it."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "Vabysmo has dried the fluid in my eye more completely than Eylea did, and so far it has enabled the interval between shots to be extended from four weeks (Eylea) to eight weeks! I am hopeful that the interval will be further extended in the future."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "When Eylea was found to be ineffective after about 1 year of monthly injections, Vabysmo was tried and after three monthly injections, evidence of leakage was gone. Last visit was so good that no injection was required. No side effects experienced other than bother of getting injections into eye."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "I lost 85% of one eye and then it began in the other, with similar rapidity, even with shots. Started using Vabysmo as soon as it became available. It almost immediately stopped further deterioration with much lowered pressure, almost nonexistent leakage, and some improved clarity. I am very happy with this treatment."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "Two other drugs I have taken in the past have helped my macular degeneration partially but then stopped helping, leaving my eyesight still extremely impaired. Vabysmo is helping my eyesight improve. There have been no side effects."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "I had a side effect 3 weeks after the injection, though it wasn't my first injection. A few days later, my other eye that also had the same injection had the same side effect. Watery eye and blurry vision. Thankfully, my doc is on top of it all and all is good. Thankful for these meds and professionals!"

Vabysmo (faricimab) "I have erythema nodosum autoimmune. Did not have a flare in a while. Some time after injection, it came out. I'm truly not sure, will take my injection next week to see if it happens again. Otherwise, it did last the length of time."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "Unknown whether will stabilize vision. I don’t think it has improved so far. But I don’t think that’s gotten any worse either. I’m sure a retinal specialist can tell by looking at the pictures. I would be overjoyed if my vision just stayed stable as I am still able to read."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "Since using Vabysmo, the doctor has increased the time between injections from 4-5 weeks to 8-9. Otherwise, the results and effects are the same as those of the previous drug he used. My vision neither improves nor diminishes."

Vabysmo (faricimab) "I have progressed from injections every 5 weeks to every 8 weeks over the last two years. Vision is not distorted following injections in both eyes and I am able to drive myself to appointments."
