Diabetes-Related Eye Conditions: Diabetes can lead to damage in the tiny
blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.
This can cause diabetic retinopathy, where blood vessels may leak fluid or
bleed, leading to blurred vision, floaters, or even vision loss if untreated.
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is another complication, resulting from fluid
buildup in the macula (the central part of the retina), causing swelling and
vision impairment.
Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD): Wet AMD is a chronic eye
condition that causes blurred vision or blind spots due to the growth of
abnormal blood vessels under the macula. These vessels may leak fluid or blood,
leading to rapid vision loss. It's one of the leading causes of vision
impairment in older adults and requires timely treatment to prevent severe
vision loss.
Macular Edema Due to Retinal Vein Occlusion or Pathological Myopia: Macular
edema is swelling in the macula, often due to retinal vein occlusion (a blockage
in the retinal veins) or pathological myopia (severe nearsightedness). Retinal
vein occlusion leads to blood and fluid leakage, which can damage the retina and
macula, causing vision loss. Pathological myopia, on the other hand, stretches
and thins the retina, which may also lead to macular edema and vision problems.
A: LUCENTIS 0.5MG INJECTION is an ophthalmic injection used in the management of
severe eye conditions caused due to diabetes, macular degeneration, and macular
swelling. It reduces abnormal growth and leakage of blood vessels in the eye
that can cause vision loss.
A: LUCENTIS 0.5MG INJECTION is suitable for use in adults and in elderly people
who have age related or diabetes related vision problems.
A: Studies have shown that R
vision clarity in patients with age related vision decline. However, the
complete cure of the eye condition can be determined only by your doctor.
A: If you already have cataract, inform the doctor prior to the administration
of LUCENTIS 0.5MG INJECTION. You will decide whether you should take this
medicine or not.
A: LUCENTIS 0.5MG INJECTION should be used under medical supervision. It will be
administered as a single injection into your eye by your eye doctor under a
local anaesthetic.
