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.

My son David has been a patient of Mr. Golchin's for 5 years with an on-going, often aggressive eye problem. Without exception Mr. Golchin has always been a pleasure to deal with. He always addressed both David and I in all consultations as individuals and as a family. This has been very important particularly when David was younger. Parents don't like seeing their children unwell so a supportive Doctor is a huge asset. We have had to make some difficult decisions regarding David's treatments over the years and Mr. Golchin has always been honest and expert in these treatments including a few operations over the years. We wish him all the best in his new consulting rooms.
