A panelist discusses how retina specialists manage geographic atrophy and neovascular age-related macular degeneration by combining clinical trial data, real-world evidence, and patient-centered approaches—including treatment personalization, emerging therapies, disease monitoring, and transparent communication—to optimize outcomes, support adherence, and preserve vision.
Dilsher S. Dhoot, MD, discusses how second-generation anti-VEGF therapies like aflibercept 8 mg and faricimab demonstrate superior efficacy and durability in treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) cases, allowing treatment intervals to extend by 2 to 3 weeks, improving anatomical outcomes, and reducing patient treatment burden compared with first-generation agents.
Michael A. Klufas, MD, discusses how second-generation retinal vascular agents like high-dose aflibercept 8 mg and faricimab show promising results for treating neovascular AMD and diabetic macular edema, with particular emphasis on extended treatment intervals up to 20 to 24 weeks and strategies for managing persistent exudation while maintaining vision.
Ferhina S. Ali, MD, MPH, discusses how emerging treatments and tailored management strategies can improve the care of patients with geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration, emphasizing the importance of patient education and individualized treatment plans.
