Join host Dr Sridhar and guests Drs Ip and Bakri for a podcast highlighting the challenges in care of patients with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). With the American Academy of Ophthalmology RVO Preferred Practice Pattern as a guide, the faculty consider the current approach to treatment using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents and factors that may suggest a need for more intensive, long-term treatment. The anti-VEGF agents have been standard of care for over a decade; however, many patients need frequent injections to be effective. The anti-VEGF agents faricimab and aflibercept 8 mg have shown noninferior efficacy and greater durability in pivotal clinical trials at reducing patient treatment burden.
