Abstract
Strategies for preventing vision loss in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) have evolved over the past decade. Whereas earlier treatments were based on thermal destruction of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), new therapies rely on targeted pharmacologic approaches to reduce the harmful effects of CNV treatment. For the first time in the history of neovascular ARMD treatment, anti-VEGF therapies have consistently improved visual acuity in a subset of patients. Clinical trials continue to investigate the optimal dosing strategies and combination therapies to better refine the treatment of this chronic and debilitating disease.
