PV and AMD?

I've had PV since 2015 and have been on Jakafi for 18 months. I've recently been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration and have been treated with intravitreous avastin. I've seen some papers suggesting that AMD is more common for people with MPNs. Has anyone else had this experience?

Steve, ,age 79
