Lucentis may kick away macular degeneration!

Two studies conducted recently have evinced that monthly eye injections of the drug lucentis can amazingly improve eyesight of the people with macular degeneration, which is the major cause of blindness in the older people.

In the first study it was found that the 477 volunteers who received monthly injections of lucentis their eyesight improved to such an extent that they were now able to read one another line of the eye chart, which was earlier not possible for them.

In second study too that included 280 people lucentis affected positively. But the major concern is about the cost of this medicine because it is quite expensive and costs about $1,950 and only time will tell how far this new study moves on.
