sealed latest leak very quickly

Have just started taking, so don't know much yet

Both comes with side effects.

I use the Off brand of Lucentis. (6/2010) It seems to be helping. So far no side affects.

Just started this. Previously had shots of Avastin. Did not get hoped for results there.

if the lucentis had been available in 2001, my husband would not have lost most of the vision in both eyes.

No side effects, but the preparation can be very uncomfortable and sometimes downright painful depending upon who administers it...since this is a teaching hospital, the residents practice on me. I had been going to a private practice, which was much easier, but not as thorough, so I changed to my present hospital. It is considered the very best hospital in the U.S., so that's why I'm there, but sometimes long for the cookie cutter treatment of the private practice.

Getting the Avastin shots every 4 weeks

For wet AMD we initially started with Lucentis but later switched over to Avastin. The regime her doctor advised was to administer a 3 injections course (1 injection every month), whenever she gets fluid/bleeding in her eye. She has taken multiple courses of Lucentis/Avastin injections so far. Initially her eye responded well to injections but 2 years back fluid started getting deposited in her eye and she did not realize. By the time she visited doc again a lot of damage had already happened

Lucentis helped to seal the leak quickly but my vision is still very distorted.
