Comparative effectiveness and safety landscape of anti-VEGF therapies for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: Insights from a systematic review and network meta-analysis
All anti-VEGF agents stabilize or improve vision in nAMD. Aflibercept may provide the most favorable efficacy-safety balance, Faricimab offers promising durability, and Brolucizumab demonstrates large visual gains with potential safety concerns. Further head-to-head and long-term real-world studies are needed to optimize individualized treatment strategies.
