Overview

Watch Prof. Anat Loewenstein reviewing the most important emerging data presented at the 19th EURETINA Congress and discussing their potential impact for addressing real-life clinical unmet needs in nAMD, including:

  • Why is retinal fluid important as a marker of disease activity in patients with nAMD? Focus on the rationale for and evidence to support using retinal fluid as a marker
  • How could the burden of nAMD be reduced, and patient adherence and QoL improved? Focus on treatment regimens that improve patient outcomes
  • What are the potential benefits of a smaller-size anti-VEGF therapy on dosing? Focus on how the dosing benefits of smaller-sized anti-VEGF therapies may impact clinical outcomes
