Up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is demonstrated to be a key role in formation process of intraocular neovascularization. Anti-VEGF treatment is the breakthrough of intraocular neovascular diseases therapy. Intrav itreal injection of antineovascularization drug looks to be an effective method on ocular neovascular diseases which with the advantages of good biocompatibility, low prices and longer intravitreal half-time etc. However, at present, it lack of multi-center study; the long-term efficacy and the systematic safety needs the further clinical verification. Various types of CNV showed the different therapeutic reactions to either PDT or Anti-VEGF agent, the treatment methods for exudative AMD include laser, PDT, and drug like Triamcinolone Acetonide,several anti-VEGF preparations. Therefore, understanding the pathogenesis of neovascular AMD and choosing a reasonable therapeutic methods are necessary. We should try to explore a safe, effective, economic, new approach.
