Wet age-related macular degeneration

Benefits of Visudyne Powder for Injection

Wet age-related macular degeneration
Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye condition where abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina, causing leakage and vision loss in the central field of vision. Visudyne Injection helps target and block these abnormal blood vessels, reducing leakage and preventing further damage to the retina. This helps slow disease progression and preserves remaining vision, supporting better eye health and quality of life.

How Visudyne Powder for Injection works

Visudyne Injection accumulates in the abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by non-thermal red light in the presence of oxygen, produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to the endothelium and blockage of the vessels.
