Abstract
The discovery of VEGF-A's role in the pathogenesis of neovascular ocular disease provided a strong rationale for the development of anti-VEGF-based therapies. There is now ample evidence that anti-VEGF therapies are viable treatment options for these diseases. Nevertheless, large, randomized controlled trials are still awaited to confirm early safety and efficacy findings from small, open-label prospective studies.
