The longer half-life may mean that it has a higher propensity to cause unwanted side effects than Lucentis. We have seen signs of this in the...
Safety of anti-VEGF therapy for AMD
It would be a mistake to assume that the risks associated with intravitreal Avastin use are the same as those for Lucentis. Chemically, the two molecules are very different. The vigorous studies that have been conducted on Lucentis reveal that there are few significant risks associated with its use. It is tempting to assume that the same is true...

However, the "treat and extend" dosing strategy reveals another potential benefit of Avastin - its longer half-life. There are several studies...

About MyVisionTest
MyVisionTest.com has been developed to supplement the traditional Amsler Grid for those patients that have been instructed by their eye doctor to monitor their vision at home. MyVisionTest employs a technique known as entoptic perimetry to detect defects in your vision. Research has found entoptic perimetry to be superior to the traditional Amsler grid in detecting such defects. We also offer you the ability to save and review past test results, making it easier for you to detect changes in your vision over time.
