Wet AMD: Is combination therapy the way of the future?

Article

Despite recent advances and the promise of new therapies for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) resulting from age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), key challenges remain. These include improving vision outcomes, reducing the numbers of treatments and proving efficacy in different lesion types. While treatment for wet AMD has traditionally centred on monotherapy regimens, the future standard of care may likely focus on combination strategies.
