Switch to faricimab after initial treatment with aflibercept in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Switching to faricimab from aflibercept in refractory nAMD patients led to significant improvements in retinal fluid management and CST, with stable BCVA outcomes. Faricimab presents a promising alternative for patients requiring frequent aflibercept injections, potentially offering a more manageable treatment regimen with extended dosing intervals. This study highlights the need for personalized therapeutic strategies in nAMD treatment, though further research is necessary to optimize treatment switches.
