Conclusions: PDS Q24W showed noninferior efficacy to monthly ranibizumab through approximately 2 years, with approximately 95% of PDS Q24W patients not receiving supplemental ranibizumab treatment in each refill-exchange interval. AEs were generally manageable, with learnings continually implemented to minimize PDS-related AEs.

A 64-year-old Chinese female with a history of hypertension presented with acute painless vision loss in the left eye in March 2002. Baseline diagnostic included visual acuity (VA) and intraocular...



Conclusions: When the patient came to our hospital for the first time in 2002, PDT was the only therapy available for nAMD. She showed a good response to the first PDT monotherapy and achieved a treatment interval of up to 9 years. PDT has been reported to prolong the anti-VEGF injection interval and/or reach a better treatment response....

Diabetic macular oedema (DMO) is the leading cause of vision loss associated with diabetic eye disease. The exponential increase in the diabetic population and thus, of DMO is an impetus...



Conclusions: Under both circumstances, this review aims to compare efficacy outcomes and adverse events of DMO therapies within the scope of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medications, specifically the commonly used ones—bevacizumab, ranibizumab and aflibercept.

Conclusions: The underlying mechanism behind the spontaneous resolution of SRD in this case is unclear. Vascular leakage and focal RPE leakage on the surface of the tumor likely led to the unresponsiveness of SRD to anti-VEGF therapy. Spontaneous regression of the SRD may have begun with the recovery of the blood-retina barrier and RPE. In a...
