Lucentis Vial

Lucentis is used to treat swelling in the retina for individuals with blood vessel blockages or Type 2 Diabetes.

How to Use

Lucentis is administered as an injection into the eye by a licensed medical professional, typically in a doctor’s office or clinic, once a month. Before the injection, a numbing medication is applied to the eye to prevent discomfort. It is important not to miss any clinic visits, as regular eye examinations are necessary to monitor for potential side effects.
