"Lucentis — may be able to slow or prevent additional vision loss or even improve remaining vision to some extent."

when googled found something called "Ranibizumab".

Description on Wiki:

"Ranibizumab is a monoclonal antibody fragment created from the same parent mouse antibody as bevacizumab. It is an anti-angiogenic that has been approved to treat the "wet" type of age-related macular degeneration, a common form of age-related vision loss. Its effectiveness is similar to that of bevacizumab"

These are the supplements that you are concerned with:

500 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C
400 international units (equivalent to about 270mg) of vitamin E
10mg lutein
2mg zeaxanthin
25mg or 80mg zinc as zinc oxide (as recommended by your doctor)
2mg copper as cupric oxide.
and can be found in any pharmacy or even on Amazon under trade names.
