Lucentis vs avastin

My husband just switched to lucentis from avastin. Has anyone with wet AMD noticed a difference in vision following injections with these two drugs? He was getting silicone droplets ( black floaters)from the avastin.

  1. Hi there! Thanks so much for reaching out to us here. Quite a few community members have shared their stories of switching eye medications. There has been some uncertainty of whether or not switching the medications is actually helping, but definitely some optimism. Feel free to check this community member's story out and some of the comments at the bottom of the article: https://maculardegeneration.net/stories/changing-injection-medications. This article also may be helpful written by our patient leader : https://maculardegeneration.net/living/switching-to-eylea. I hope these are helpful! Wishing you and your husband all the best. Please keep us posted on how he continues to feel. - Abby (Team Member).
