Anti-VEGF Innovations in Retinal Disease

Emerging anti-VEGF agents offer enhanced durability and anatomic outcomes in retinal disease.

A recent Ophthalmology Times Case-Based Roundtable discussion focused on the structural differences among newer second-generation anti-VEGF agents and their implications for clinical efficacy and treatment durability.

The discussion also highlighted real-world experiences and evidence regarding extended treatment intervals and sustained disease control with these newer therapies.

Stewart, MD, summarized the key takeaways from the discussion.

He presented a case of an 83-year-old woman with diabetic macular edema (DME) who underwent temporal grid laser photocoagulation for macular edema and received bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, Inc) intravitreal injections every 4 to 6 weeks.
