What are the current treatments available for "wet" macular degeneration?


Until very recently...the treatment of wet macular degeneration was not very successful.
Fortunately...the situation has changed.
In 2009...the treatment of choice, throughout the world...is with a drug called "Lucentis" or Ranibizumab.
This drug is a "monoclonal antibody fragment"...specifically engineered for wet macular degeneration.
Retinal specialists administer Lucentis as an injection into the eye.
