A novel formulation may prevent blood vessel growth and vascular leakage in the retina.

Ophthalmologist receives the Roger Steinert, MD, Legacy Award during the Octane Ophthalmology Tech Forum in Irvine, California.

A team of researchers at the Ohio State University found that in mice an enzyme related to cell growth and division is a culprit in the blood vessel invasion in the back of the eye that causes blurred central vision in wet AMD.

The company announced it has received FDA approval to relaunch Susvimo for intravitreal use via an ocular implant for treating people with wet AMD.

Prescriptions with semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic, Novo Nordisk) are FDA approved to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes, respectively.
