Anti-VEGF

Anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) treatments are medicines that block a protein called VEGF, which promotes the growth of abnormal blood vessels. In certain eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration, these abnormal vessels can leak or grow excessively, damaging vision. By inhibiting VEGF, anti-VEGF therapies help reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage, stabilizing or improving vision. These treatments are commonly administered via injections into the eye and are a proven approach to managing eye diseases involving unwanted blood vessel growth.
