I've looked this up already but I'd like to know some first hand experiences to try to better prepare for any adverse effect. My mother has an appointment with a Retina specialist. Her optometrist thinks she has wet macular degeneration but it has to be confirmed by the specialist.

She might get an injection. I'm wondering what signs to look for in the event of an infection or any other side effect. From what I've read so far, there will be some discomfort for the first couple of days and possibly some blurriness for several hours after the injection.

How would I know if there are any serious side effects such as damage to the retina or anything else?
