Faricimab is a novel intravitreal bispecific antibody targeting both VEGF-A and angiopoietin-Tie2 independently. Despite a safe profile in randomized clinical trials, several real-life studies have reported cases of IOI.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in French patients between 2008 and 2018.
Methods: This was a retrospective longitudinal cohort study using exhaustive nationwide health records from the French National Health Information database. Enrollment criteria were adults aged ≥ 50 years, nAMD diagnosis, or reimbursement for nAMD treatments (anti-vascular epithelial growth factor [VEGF] injection or dynamic phototherapy with verteporfin).
Subretinal autofluorescent deposits (SADs) may be found in the posterior pole, associated with very various conditions. These disorders usually present a typical pattern of autofluorescent lesions seen on short-wavelength fundus autofluorescence. We describe SADs according to their putative pathophysiological origin and also according to their clinical pattern, i.
