Published: December 2005

Anti-VEGF therapy is a promising new avenue for the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases. Early preclinical data and recent clinical data support the efficacy and safety of several novel anti-VEGF for NVAMD. Whether these novel biologics are used on their own, in combination with previously available therapies, or with newly developing therapies, they represent a new avenue in treatment. These agents are highly selective in their targeted approaches, and when administered appropriately , offer treatment with minimal damage to retinal tissue. In the future, biotherapeutic agents will certainly play a powerful role in the treatment of human choroidal neovascular membrane formation.
