What is a macular degeneration injection?
macular injection degeneration is a shot of a prescribed medicine that a qualified doctor treated "wet" macular degeneration. In the patient injection, it is injected in an effort to improve vision. A qualified ophthalmologist determines the number of injections needed for treatment that differs from once a week to once a month. Wet forms of the disease are the result of abnormality in blood vessels growing at the back of the eye. These containers often escape, causing blurred vision. Related loss of vision can be fast and severe if not treated.
"dry" form of macular degeneration is more related to age. Treatment of dry form of macular degeneration does not include eye injections because clinical studies have not been shown to be effective. Loss of vision can also be sudden and severe with dry form, and eye drops are prescribed to try to stop further degeneration of the retina.
Makular degeneration injection for wet form seemsIt works by blocking and inhibition of substances that promote blood vessel growth. By blocking these substances in the retina, blood vessels do not continue to grow and seem to slow or stop loss of vision. While clinical studies continue to seek effective treatment or medicines for any form of disease, macular degeneration injections usually come in three forms that were used in 2010 with consistently good results.drugs used in injection of macular degeneration are also used in the treatment of colon cancer. It is assumed that the drug is working on cancerous tumors by stopping their vascular growth. With a smaller bloody tumor supply, cancer cannot be expanded and the tumor may decrease with other therapies. The same principle is used in this, it saves extra blood vessels found in wet form of macular degeneration. Inhibition of blood vessel growth appears to inhibit the loss of vision.
side effects of injection macular degeneration may include eye pain and allergic reactionCE including rash, hives, shortness of breath and itching. Some patients may experience redness in the eye itself, irritation around the eyelids and the swelling of the cornea. The risk of side effects is generally considered to be minimal compared to the possibility of stopping the progression of macular degeneration.
