Purpose: To assess the risk of renal adverse events, particularly acute kidney injury (AKI), between intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents.
Design: Meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on Ovid Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from January 2005 to February 2024 involving adult patients receiving anti-VEGF intravitreal injections for agerelated macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was o examine the optical coherence tomographic (OCT) characteristics of hyper-reflective foci (HRF) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and to assess the potential of HRF as a predictive factor for the development of macular atrophy following anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 61 treatment-naïve eyes diagnosed with exudative AMD and type 1 macular neovascularization (MNV). The HRF was identified in the inner retina and outer retina layers, and the treatment response of HRF was documented.

Purpose: To study the effects of anti-VEGF injections on the prevalence of ocular hypertension (OHT), sustained elevated intraocular pressure (SE-IOP), and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with age-matched controls.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME) against a control group involving atrophic AMD or diabetic retinopathy (DR) without DME. Bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or a combination of both were used in the treatment group.

Recent developments in treatments for both forms of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have led to the approval of multiple agents and modalities within the last few years. Five new medications for both neovascular AMD (nAMD) and geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to nonexudative AMD (neAMD) have been FDA-approved within the last 5 years, along with a new device designed for sustained drug delivery for nAMD. In nAMD, the newest agents approved by the FDA are brolucizumab (Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Basel, Switzerland), faricimab (F.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of total duration of intraretinal fluid (IRF) exposure on visual acuity and vision-related quality of life in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Design: A post hoc analysis of integrated data from the VIEW 1 and VIEW 2 trials.
Participants: Patients with nAMD.
