Tracking and Treating Uveitic Macular Edema: A Difficult Dilemma

Uveitic macular edema (UME) has a wide variety of causes. If not appropriately treated, it eventually causes damage to the photoreceptors in the macula, resulting in vision-threatening complications like macular ischemia or macular hole formation. Corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for uveitic inflammation and UME. However, they are not generally considered to be appropriate for long-term treatment due to adverse effects, including increased intraocular pressure and cataract in local...

Diabetic Macular Edema: Employing Inflammatory Markers to Predict Improved Visual Outcomes

Real-world outcomes with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in the treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) do not always replicate those seen in clinical studies. In part, these discrepancies are due to treatment burden, lack of adherence, undertreatment, and incomplete response to anti-VEGF therapies. The identification of several inflammatory cytokines in the aqueous and vitreous humor whose concentrations correlate closely with the severity o...

nAMD and DME Management: Rapid Response From ARVO

Real-world outcomes with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies in the management of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME) are often not comparable to those of clinical studies. Discrepancies in these outcomes have been associated with undertreatment due to high treatment burden and the associated loss of patient adherence to dosing schedules. Newer therapies with novel mechanisms that extend intervals between dosing...

Geographic Atrophy: Rapid Response from ARVO

Geographic atrophy (GA) is a pathological deterioration of the retina seen in the late stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It affects 20% of people with AMD, and its prevalence increases exponentially with age. Until recently, there were no treatment options for GA, but investigation into the complement system and its role in the pathogenesis of GA has led to targeted therapies that have revolutionized the treatment paradigm. Because of the recent approval of one of these therapi...

Case Challenges in nAMD and DME Management: Achieving Durable Response

The management of diabetic macular edema (DME) and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies has provided enhanced visual outcomes for many patients. However, the high treatment burden associated with anti-VEGF therapies can lead to lack of patient adherence, resulting in suboptimal outcomes. Personalized treatment protocols using FDA-approved agents and newer novel delivery systems, along with agents with uni...

Meeting Milestones in nAMD and DME Management: What's New?

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy has revolutionized treatment paradigms for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). However, these agents are associated with a high treatment burden because of the injection frequency, and a substantial number of patients do not adhere to their treatment schedules, resulting in suboptimal response to therapy. To address these issues, new dosage regimens and surgical drug delivery approaches hav...

Recognition and Referral: Best Practices for Managing Patients with GA

Patients with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration can present with geographic atrophy (GA), a disease that is progressive and increases with age. Although there is no treatment approved by the FDA that halts or reverses GA, a number of drugs in the pipeline are designed to address GA progression, hoping to succeed where previous drug candidates failed. This series of regional, interactive, virtual symposia are designed to educate eye care providers on the importance of diagnosis and ...
