Ranibizumab Eye injection for diabetic retinopathy. Dr Mahinda Weerasekara, Consultant eye surgeon

Ranibizumab is a medication used to treat various eye conditions, including wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular oedema, macular oedema following retinal vein occlusion, and diabetic retinopathy. It is marketed under the brand name Lucentis and works by inhibiting the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye, which can cause vision problems. Like all medications, ranibizumab can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include eye pain, redness, and itching, as well as increased sensitivity to light. Serious side effects, although rare, can include retinal detachment or infection, so it is important for patients to receive regular follow-up appointments with their eye doctor while taking this medication. Ranibizumab is administered by injection into the affected eye by a healthcare professional. The frequency of injections and the duration of treatment depend on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient's response to the medication.
