Avastin but not Lucentis increases risk of blood clots
Avastin and Lucentis are very different molecules with similar pharmacologic effects.

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...

Very high IOP following intravitreal injection is a common and serious problem. Even transient pressure spikes can cause serious damage to the eye, and the risk is compounded by the necessity for repeated monthly injections. When a patient's IOP shoots up very high following an injection, fluid can be removed from the eye to rapidly return the...
Recurrence intervals after anti-VEGF therapy for AMD

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.
