Hi and welcome to HCM,
Macular degeneration can itself cause blurred vision. But if your blurred vision is immediately after taking the Avastin shots, the there is a chance that you may have infection of the eye and you should have it checked out ASAP. Avastin can also cause momentary increase in the eye pressure, which can cause blurry vision.
In any case you should follow up with your eye doctor.
