Lucentis (ranibizumab) "My doc started me on Lucentis after I had a reaction to Avastin. My condition improved after 8 months. I also began taking an AREDS vitamin formula in the last two months of treatment and increased the amount of green leafy veggies (Chard, Spinach and Kale) in my diet and stopped my daily baby aspirin (some clinical studies indicate may worsen the condition) So I cannot attribute improvement solely to Lucentis. One thing to be very aware of is the cost. The Medicare co-pay per treatment (per eye) is about $500. "

"After cataract in LR eyes and vitrectomy w/traction in L (10-11/2018), in 12/18 was diagnosed with IRVIN GASS (20/500). Started Avastin in 2/18 (3 shots in each eye): clear improvement, but no change in edema size (4/2019). Advised to switch to Eylea (3 shots in each eye), no clear improvement (5/19 thru 7/19). Then to Ranibizumab (10/19 thru 12/19). 24 hrs after the first shot, large blind spot in R eye, with partial loss of vision. 24 hrs later, vision was fully restored and OCT showed remarkable reduction of edema. Continued with other 2 shots in each eye through end of 12/2019 but no repetition of the "miracle" effect. As of today, 2/10/20, vision is now back to 20/30, but still see the edema bumps on vertical lines on L eye, less so on R eye. Two doctors recommend continuing with Ranibi. Will wait one more month. But unsure when reduction of edema bump is expected to take place. I have read that up to 2 to 3 yrs is be possible. Edemas are still around 600 mic on L and 500 on R."

Lucentis (ranibizumab) "After two days my sight was restored. It was terrific except it did not last more than a few weeks. Had the same experience with Eylea."
