Anti Veg-F Intravitreal Injections
Anti-VEGF medication injection treatments for Wet Macular Degeneration
A common way to treat wet macular degeneration targets a specific chemical in your body that causes abnormal blood vessels to grow under the retina. That chemical is called vascular endothelial growth factor or VEGF. Several new drug treatments (called anti-VEGF drugs) have been developed for wet AMD that can block the trouble causing VEGF. Blocking VEGF reduces the growth of abnormal blood vessels, slows their leakage, helps to slow vision loss, and in some cases improves vision.
We administrate the anti-VEGF drug (such as Lucentis or Eylea) directly to your eye and this is performed as an outpatient procedure.
The Cork Eye Clinic administrate the highest number of injections given on a weekly basis in Cork

VIEW ALLWhat Our Patients Say
Mr. Golchin and his team are wonderful, efficient, very professional, always helpful and kind. I was very nervous about having cataract surgery- I needed both eyes operated on and had them done two months apart. Everyone at the Bon Secours Hospital in Cork were reassuring and caring. Mr. Golchin came and spoke to me before each operation and was very understanding. The procedure itself was really straight forward. I cant believe the difference the operations have made my sight, which is now really clear and sharp- its like having my young eyes back again! A huge thank-you to Mr. Golchin and his staff, I feel very lucky to have such excellent eye care.
