    Lucentis question

    Hi, I had my first Lucentis injections a week ago and I am still having a little ache and grittiness now and then in my right eye. This was the worst affected following the treatment and stayed pinkish for a couple of days after. I get a very quick nano-second of an ache at the back when I...
