My vision was 20/200. I have had only 2 injections. I have tears and a lot of pain for at least 8hrs. My eye is sensitive to light and still pains a great deal. I hope this gets better.

In 2008 I had five injectionn of Lucentis in the Right eye for wet ARMD. Vison was good (20/20) and remained good. Wavy lines disappeared. Had very uncomfortable swelling, redness, itching, tearing of the eye, along with long lasting dicoloration of the skin around the eye. In March 2010, had one injection in left eye with similar reaction of the eye. Wet ARMD was diagnosed with photographs. ... Show Full Comment

Had very uncomfortable swelling, redness, itching, tearing of the eye, along with long lasting dicoloration of the skin around the eye. In March 2010, had one injection in left eye with similar reaction of the eye. Wet ARMD was diagnosed with photographs. I questioned allergy to Lucentis right along. In April 2010, I had 2nd injection in left eye. Seven hours later I experienced cardiac fibrillation. Diagnosis "supraventricular tachycardia" (fibrillation) - "probably reaction to Lucentis." Vision was good at start and remains good. Now concerned that the drug remains effective for 45 days, during which time I am at risk of serious side effects, including stroke. Blindness or stroke is no choice. An antidote is needed.

I am pleased with the success of the Lucentis injections. I do not like the two weeks of swelling, drying and itching experienced in treated eye. Is this unique or are others having same results?

My father 69, was diagonised with WetAMD, after he lost his right eye, 3 lucentis injections were given every month to the left one, there were inital signs of improvement, but didn't last very long. After 6 months yesterday he went for his 4th injection, says no improvement so far. He's almost going blind and shelling out a lot $$$, quite unhappy. From our experience chances of this injec ...

My father 69, was diagonised with WetAMD, after he lost his right eye, 3 lucentis injections were given every month to the left one, there were inital signs of improvement, but didn't last very long. After 6 months yesterday he went for his 4th injection, says no improvement so far. He's almost going blind and shelling out a lot $$$, quite unhappy. From our experience chances of this injection working when diagonised at a late stage are minimal. We are hoping for the best, but he's very depressed about progressively losing his vision. Any feedback or input from the users would be helpful.

Left eye. 3 Avastin,no effect; about 12 Lucentis, short term effect clearing then fading associated with foging after 10 to 14 days. I'd like injections twice a month at least temporarily to see if it helps.
