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 antineovascularization 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.
