Lucentis injections
Hi everyone just had my 4th injection today and feeling really well after this latest one. Just a thought, as nearly always takes me a good 24 hours normally to feel brighter after them. Just wondering if this is due to build up, getting used to them or struck lucky with my injector today? Would love

Has anyone switched injection medicine? My first post to you all.
I have asked to switch to
Lucentis
which is not as strong. Has anyone had any luck in switching medicine?

Brittle eyelashes
So this is a strange question, just had my third
Lucentis
injection and find for days after that my eyelashes on the injected eye always go very stiff and feel brittle. Does anyone else find this? Thanks

Myopic CNV and a little question
My wife is the one who has CNV in both eyes being threated right now with
Lucentis
. She is just 32 I think I suffer more than her because this is like a roller coaster, everything began when she was 18 due to high myopia. Good and bad moments. I would like to ask something.

Floaters after Lucentis
Hi, I had my first injection of
Lucentis
9days ago, but I still have two quite big floaters in my vision. Is this normal? I returned for a check up mid-week and the Edema at the back of my eye had gone down a lot. There was no inflammation, but my vision is still really bad.

Showering and Exercise
Hello all, I had my 1st
Lucentis
injection yesterday and was wondering if anyone could advise how soon after I could have a hot bath/shower/wash my hair or go for a run/exercise?? I don’t want to do anything that might cause unnecessary problems with my eye. Thanks in advance

Difference after injection between Lucentis & Eyelea
After having
Lucentis
injections monthly for most of the last 2 to 3 years it was felt that a switch to Eyelea might help.

Ozurdex implant
Hi I have CRVO with macular oedema in my right eye, this happened when I was 46, it’s coming up to a year now and I’ve had 3
lucentis
injections and 5 bouts of laser, I’ve recently had the ozurdex implant and i must say that it has improved my sight but I was just wandering if anyone else has had this

Lucentis for Central Serous Retinopathy
I had my first
Lucentis
injection last week. I know that
Lucentis
is usually used to treat Wet AMD and Diabetic Retinopathy so I am a bit confused. My consultant says I don't have either of these. Has anyone else had a similar situation? Have you successfully treated CSR with injections?

No more eye injections with an implantable pump!
My retinal specialist told me a Mini Drug Pump for Ophthalmic Use is going to be approved for
Lucentis
. (Like an insulin pump device) I'm not sure if Eylea will be offered as well. He said it should be available in a year or so. Has anyone else heard of this? I am so excited to learn of this!

Spectacles
Hi ,I was diagnosed with Wet AMD in 2012 and underwent a series of
Lucentis
injections over a 2 year period. Thankfully it has been fairly stable since then with only a slight deterioration at the annual eye test last year.

Trying to understand the factors behind recurrence of Diabetic Macular Oedema
Restoring done of the Glicazide got it down to 6.8% and GP was happy with that improvement but by that stage the
lucentis
injections had needed to restart.

New rationale for treatment
I received 3 injections of
lucentis
at monthly intervals with increasingly bad reactions. The last one caused burning that lasted 12 hours, followed by the gritty feeling ( worse than ever/ which didn't really ease up.

Polypoidal bleeding
Dear All I have got polyps in the eye and need to takle
Lucentis
injectinos on and off. Somehow if I take raw ginger and turmeric with black pepper regularly, bleeding stops and ifI stop having them, it comes backl. I have also stopped milk and sugar /sugar bye products.

Frequency of check ups
After the three loading
lucentis
injections and review, assuming the leakage has stopped, how often are follow up visits?
