Payer step therapy and formulary limits reshape anti‑VEGF care—often raising long‑term costs and risking outcomes without doctor–payer alignment.

Experts question prior authorization for anti-VEGF retina drugs, urging outcome-based reviews and payer-physician dialogue to cut waste and costs.

Open-access anti‑VEGF choices cut delays in AMD, DME and RVO care, urging payer-physician collaboration for sustainable costs and better vision.

How longer-lasting anti-VEGF therapies cut injections, visits, and vision loss risk—why payers may save overall by covering newer retinal drugs.

Rising anti‑VEGF drug prices, Medicare copays, and travel burdens reshape retinal disease care—see how affordability drives real‑world treatment choices.

Learn how treat-and-extend anti-VEGF dosing cuts injections in retinal disease and why real-world evidence should guide payer access.

How treat-and-extend anti-VEGF care lowers injection burden and reshapes payer access decisions, guided by real-world evidence.

How longer-lasting therapies cut injection burden, boost adherence, and protect vision in AMD, DME, and RVO with new-generation treatments.

New trial data show aflibercept 8 mg and faricimab extend dosing to 16–20 weeks in AMD, DME, RVO while maintaining safety.

Explore how high-dose aflibercept and dual-pathway faricimab boost anti-VEGF durability, targeting VEGF-A and Ang-2 for better retinal outcomes.
