Clinical, Review, Journal: Review of Ophthalmic and Breastfeeding Medicine Evidence: Real and Theoretical Risks of Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Administration in Lactating Women. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 29, 2021 However, there is significant need for further research on the degree and duration to which intravitreal agents circulate systemically, what fraction is transferred into breastmilk and is absorbed, and whether this results in any functional adverse effects to the infant. Other factors to consider in the medical decision-making of lactating mothers necessitating intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment include the gestational and post-natal age of the child and whether it is feasible to avoid breastfeeding for the half-life duration of the intravitreal agent rather than ceasing breastfeeding altogether.

Clinical, Journal: One-year real-life results on effect of intravitreal aflibercept in patients with diabetic macular oedema switched from ranibizumab. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 21, 2021 Our study also demonstrated that anti-vascular endothelial growth factor could effectively decrease the lesion size and flow area of both the choroidal neovascularization in neovascular age-related macular degeneration cases and the polypoidal complex in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy cases; the effects were similar in both diseases. There was a significant improvement in visual acuity and in anatomical outcomes in the switched group at 12 months after commencing treatment with aflibercept for diabetic macular oedema.

Clinical, Journal, HEOR: Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness of Anti-VEGF for Treating Diabetic Retinopathy in the Indian Population. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 20, 2021 The results demonstrated that a subject has to pay 20.951 times more cost (in INR) for RBZ+laser therapy compared to BVZ+laser therapy, to get an almost similar outcome. BVZ is found to be the more attractive option for treating DME in DR for its cost-friendliness over RBZ in terms of BCVA outcome, as well as the safety perspectives, at least for the economically backward population in developing countries, like India.

Clinical, Journal: Risk factors for fellow eye treatment in protocol T. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 20, 2021 This discrepancy may reflect the challenges in balancing between under-treatment and a reduced treatment burden. Bilateral treatment with intravitreal anti-VEGF injections was common during the DRCR.net Protocol T. Medication choice may impact the risk of fellow eye treatment.
