What Is the Most Common Wet Macular Degeneration Treatment?
Wet macular degeneration treatment is such a rapidly growing field that it’s difficult at any given moment to pinpoint the most common therapy for this vision-threatening condition. One of the more recent advances, however, injecting the drugs Lucentis&Reg; or Avastin&Reg; directly into the anesthetized affected eye to arrest or lessen the disease has become increasingly common and has generally proven to be highly effective. Another popular form of treatment uses cold laser light to activate the drug Visudyne&Reg;, which has been injected into the bloodstream. A third less common form of therapy is laser surgery. There is no cure for wet macular degeneration, but treatment tailored to the individual suffering from it can often slow or arrest loss of vision.
