Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) Overview

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is an advanced, exudative variant of macular degeneration characterized by choroidal neovascularization, where pathological vessels sprout from the choriocapillaris into the subretinal space. Driven by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) upregulation, these leaky vessels cause subretinal hemorrhage, macular fluid accumulation, and pigment epithelial detachment, leading to rapid, irreversible central vision loss. Diagnosis relies on optical coherence tomography displaying intraretinal or subretinal fluid, alongside fluorescein angiography to map neovascular architecture. In 2026, standard management centers on proactive, personalized treat-and-extend intravitreal anti-VEGF injection protocols. While traditional mono-targeted agents like aflibercept 2mg or biosimilars remain foundational, frontline regimens preferentially deploy longer-acting, next-generation therapeutics to minimize real-world treatment burden. These include faricimab, a bispecific antibody dual-targeting VEGF-A and angiopoietin-2 to optimize vascular stability, and high-dose aflibercept 8mg, which utilizes structural pharmacokinetic intensification to safely extend standard maintenance dosing intervals up to sixteen weeks. Early detection, strict compliance tracking, and lifestyle optimization are mandatory to preserve long-term functional autonomy.
