Wet AMD

The not-for-profit vision and healthcare organization breaks ground on premier Technology Center for assistive technology for people with vision loss.

The company is hoping to commercialize the first FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab-vikg for retinal disease. It expects to receive BLA approval from the FDA by mid-2022.

EYS809, a non-viral gene therapy sustained drug-delivery product that delivers anti-vascular endothelial growth factor to the eye, may replace the need for repeated intravitreal anti-VEGF injections and improve vision in patients diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration.

This novel intravitreal gene therapy may also hold potential for the treatment of diabetic macular edema.

Injections and implants continue to create further positive outcomes for patients.

Results of a prospective trial show the tool is ready for clinical use and potential deployment for remote telemedical use.

A study suggests this user-friendly platform may be useful as a supplemental visual function measure in patients with AMD.

The number of patients with retinal diseases is steadily increasing in the United States, according to a retrospective study presented during ARVO 2020.

Early detection and anti-VEGF treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the second eye leads to better mean final visual acuity (VA) with fewer injections at 1 year.

S.K. Steven Houston III, MD, discusses retina innovations in use in his practice, including the NGENUITY 1.4 upgrade from Alcon, and adapting to ever-changing operating room spacing and set-up in the COVID-19 environment

Investigators tested the hypothesis that changes in certain areas of the macular are more relevant to AMD. What did their findings reveal?

Why progression to advanced disease may have a more dramatic impact on patients with neovascular AMD compared with those with central geographic atrophy.

Theresa Heah, MD, provides an update on AsclepiX’s AXT107, which is derived from a cryptic peptide within collagen IV that works by activating naturally existing, homeostatic mechanisms of angiogenesis.
