Macular degeneration treatment
Macular degeneration treatment. Doctor applying eyedrops to the eye of a 75-year-old female patient being prepped to receive an intra-ocular bevacizumab (Avastin) injection to treat macular degeneration and retinal vein thrombosis. Bevacizumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor,a drug that slows the growth of new blood vessels. It is usually used in chemotherapy to treat a number of cancers but here is being used to treat age-related eye conditions. Macular degeneration caused damage to the macula,the central area of the retina in the eye,which leads to a loss of vision in the central field of vision. Retinal vein thrombosis,or central retinal vein occlusion,is a blockage of the central retinal vein. As one of only two sources of blood supply to the eye,occlusion of the central retinal vein can lead to blindness
