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... |
