Smoking, a family history of AMD, being overweight, and cardiovascular conditions are all risk factors for developing AMD. Also, it seems that women are at greater risk than men for developing AMD. Experiencing changes in your vision could be early signs of AMD. If you've answered 'yes' to some of the questions above, you should tell your ophthalmologist or retina specialist about your symptoms and schedule an eye exam.

Important LUCENTIS Safety Information


Like any prescription medication, LUCENTIS is not for everyone. You should not use LUCENTIS if you have an infection in or around the eye.


Like other injections given into the eye, serious eye infection (endophthalmitis) and detached retina have occurred with LUCENTIS. Increases in eye pressure have been seen within 1 hour of an injection. Your eye doctor should monitor your eye pressure and eye health during the week after the injection. If your eye becomes red, sensitive to light, painful, or has a change in vision, you should seek immediate care from your eye doctor.


Although uncommon, conditions associated with eye- and non–eye-related blood clots (arterial thromboembolic events) may occur.


Serious side effects related to the injection procedure were rare. These included serious eye infection, detached retina, and cataract. Other uncommon serious side effects included inflammation inside the eye and increased eye pressure.


The most common eye-related side effects were red eye, eye pain, small specks in vision, the feeling that something is in your eye, and increased tears. The most common non–eye-related side effects were high blood pressure, nose and throat infection, and headache.


LUCENTIS is for prescription use only.

Individual results with LUCENTIS may vary.
