SEATTLE — In this Healio Video Perspective from the Retina World Congress, Andrew A. Moshfeghi, MD, MBA, discusses treating patients with age-related macular degeneration with concomitant geographic atrophy and choroidal neovascularization.
According to Moshfeghi, it is important to balance the treatments for each condition while avoiding issues such as high eye pressure and injection fatigue.
“One approach that I have found that works for me is to treat the patient roughly every 2 months with each drug in an alternating fashion,” he said. “... That provides the patient with the best of both worlds and is easy to digest.”
