Lucentis Prefilled Syringe

Uses of Lucentis Prefilled Syringe

Lucentis Prefilled Syringe is a prescription medication used to treat certain eye conditions, including wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD),  diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic macular edema (DME), and myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV). It functions by inhibiting the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye and reducing fluid leakage, thereby improving vision.
