Had AMD for 3 + years and have Avastin eye injections in 1 eye every 4-6 weeks. Overall I have made improvement with little side effects. As of today I have gone to a lower 2.5 strength readers from 3.5 strength after getting 20/20 on eye chart exam. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I have become less short sighted since I developed AMD in 2020 and started injections. My optician has said it is not unusual but not a good feature as it is due to the AMD.
