I was getting Lucentis injections but they changed everyone to Cimerli. One of the side effects is blood vessel leakage. It goes away. Are you going a good retina doctor who specializes in only the retina?

Yes. And I've been on an older injection due to my insurance. My optometrist suggests staying with what works, not switching to the more expensive medicines.

I didn't have a choice. Do you take Avantin or Avanta?
