Newer anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents
Ocular angiogenesis is a major cause of ocular morbidity worldwide. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability with diverse roles both during the development and adulthood. This is believed

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapies in ophthalmology. [PDF]
Background: Retinal diseases, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion, are leading causes of vision loss worldwide. The introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies has dramatically changed the management of these conditions, offering targeted treatment ...

Low-fluence PDT better than anti-vascular endothelial growth factor
Sir, It was interesting to read the article “Low-fluence photodynamic therapy” for early onset choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) following LASIK by Dr. George J Manayath et al.[1] The authors have to be commended for an excellent work. But I have some reservations that I would like to state. Were there any pathological myopia changes recorded

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor for neovascular glaucoma [PDF]
Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a potentially blinding secondary glaucoma. It is caused by the formation of abnormal new blood vessels which prevent normal drainage of aqueous from the anterior segment of the eye. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents are specific inhibitors of the primary mediators of neovascularization.

Biomarkers for anti‑vascular endothelial growth factor drugs
Angiogenesis is regulated by interactions between vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and VEGF receptors. VEGF-A, VEGF-D, placental growth factor (PlGF) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) have tumor angiogenic activity. VEGF-A and PAI-1 levels in the blood may impact the activity of bevacizumab, and VEGF-D levels may similarly ...

ANTI–VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR BIOSIMILARS IN OPHTHALMOLOGY
Background/Purpose: Anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapies have proven effective in treating retinal diseases but come with a high financial burden to the patient and health care system. Biosimilar drugs present an opportunity to decrease the cost of these important ophthalmic medications, and several ophthalmic ...

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor for proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is an advanced complication of diabetic retinopathy that can cause blindness. It consists of the presence of new vessels in the retina and vitreous haemorrhage. Although panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) is the treatment of choice for PDR, it has secondary effects that can affect vision.
