FRÆÐIGREINARGREIN / HRÖRNUN í AUGNBOTNUM
félagslegu þjónustunni þar sem þetta fólk getur þá
búið lengur heima og bjargað sér sjálft. Að auki
stór bætir lyfið lífsgæði sjúklinga.
Heilbrigðisyfirvöld í Danmörku hafa ákveðið
að árið 2007 verði lyfið eingöngu notað á fimm
sjúkrahúsum og hafa þau þegar hafið meðferð
með Lucentis. I Svíþjóð hafa þegar á annan tug
stofnana hafið meðferð með Lucentis og gert er
ráð fyrir að þeim stofnunum muni fjölga á næstu
vikum. Ellihrörnun í augnbotnum veldur um
helmingi allrar blindu á íslandi. Þess er vænst að
leyfi til notkunar lyfsins á íslandi fáist á næstunni.
