Anti-VEGF-refractory Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration: Differential Response According to Features on Optical Coherence Tomography
PURPOSE To describe optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients refractory to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections (ranibizumab, bevacizumab) and their responses to alternative anti-VEGF agents or photodynamic therapy (PDT). METHODS A retrospective review of 267 neovascular AMD patients tre...
متن کاملAflibercept in exudative age related macular degeneration refractory to ranibizumab.
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness, safety and cost of aflibercept in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) refractory to ranibizumab. METHODS Retrospective observational study was conducted on patients diagnosed with wet ARMD, and previously treated with ranibizumab. Efficacy variables assessed were changes in visual acuity (BCVA) and anato...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography Features Preceding the Onset of Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Purpose Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disease with multifactorial etiology. There is a need to identify clinical features that are harbingers of advanced disease. We evaluated morphologic features of the retina and choroid on optical coherence tomography (OCT) to determine if they predict progression to advanced disease. Methods Progressors transitioned from early or...
متن کاملConcomitant bilateral intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration
PURPOSE To report the outcomes of same-day, bilateral intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for a consecutive series of patients treated for exudative age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). METHODS A consecutive series of 254 eyes of 127 patients received bilateral, same-day anti-VEGF injections of either bevacizumab or ranibizumab between January 1, 2007 and J...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography for age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema: an evidence-based analysis.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this evidence-based review was to examine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with retinal disease, specifically age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Specifically, the research question addressed was: What is the sensitivity and...
