Purpose: This study evaluates the efficacy of intravitreal injections (IVI) of faricimab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and retinal pigment epithelium detachment (RPED) resistant to other anti-VEGF agents.

Material And Methods: The study included 61 patients (61 eyes) with nAMD previously treated with aflibercept and/or brolucizumab IVIs. Three groups were formed: group 1 received aflibercept IVI (32 eyes), group 2 received brolucizumab IVI (14 eyes), and group 3 received aflibercept followed by brolucizumab IVI (15 eyes).
