Eylea Uses. Eylea is approved for treating neovascular wet macular degeneration and macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion. This medicine is injected directly in the eye and can help slow down and even reverse vision loss and macular damage.
The drug, called Eylea, can be injected into the eye less frequently than the current standard, Genentechâs Lucentis, according to the labels of the two drugs. Eylea is also slightly less expensive, at $1,850 an injection versus $1,950 for Lucentis. Regeneron argues that Eylea would save the health care system thousands of dollars a year per patient, factoring in the fewer injections and also fewer doctor visits and examinations.
