Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Biosimilars for retinal diseases have been a topic of discussion recently due to the approval of two biosimilar ranibizumab by the US FDA and EMA. It is important to understand this emerging field in retina with many other biosimilar anti-VEGF molecules in the final stage of their trials. Hopefully, they will be available for clinical use very soon. Areas covered Articles update about the approved biosimilar ranibizumab for retinal diseases and list out ranibizumab and aflibercept biosimilars in the pipeline. Expert opinion Approval of biosimilar anti-VEGFs might be able to drive a geographically variable change in the usage of retinal pharmacotherapy based on the local policies of the health system.
期刊介绍：
The worldwide problem of visual impairment is set to increase, as we are seeing increased longevity in developed countries. This will produce a crisis in vision care unless concerted action is taken. The substantial value that ophthalmic interventions confer to patients with eye diseases has led to intense research efforts in this area in recent years, with corresponding improvements in treatment, ophthalmic instrumentation and surgical techniques. As a result, the future for ophthalmology holds great promise as further exciting and innovative developments unfold.
