          Abstract

          El incremento del factor de crecimiento vascular endotelial (VEGF) en procesos degenerativos, obstructivos e incluso neoplásicos promueve la formación de nuevos vasos sanguíneos aberrantes y perjudiciales para la agudeza visual. En los últimos años, la creación de fármacos antiangiogénicos (anti-VEGF) y su uso intravítreo han revolucionado la terapéutica de las enfermedades neovasculares de la retina incrementando la calidad de vida de las personas que la padecen. El siguiente artículo de revisión narrativa busca analizar la seguridad, eficacia, posología, vía de administración y esquemas internacionales de tratamiento anti-VEGF en la Degeneración Macular Asociada a la Edad (DMAE) Exudativa, Edema Macular Diabético (EMA), Oclusión de la Vena Central de la Retina (OVCR), Oclusión de Rama Venosa de la Retina (ORVR) y en el Retinoblastoma. En la actualidad, el uso de fármacos anti-VEGF representa una elección segura y eficaz en el tratamiento de patologías neovasculares de retina.

          Translated abstract

          An Increased vascular endothelial growth factor in degenerative, obstructive and even neoplastic processes is the main pathophysiological mechanism for the formation of aberrant blood vessels, which are detrimental and put at risk the visual acuity of the individual. In recent years, the creation of antiangiogenic (anti-VEGF) drugs and their intravitreal use have revolutionized the therapy of retinal neovascular diseases and have provided an increase in the quality of life of people suffering from it. The following narrative review article seeks to analyze the safety, efficacy, posology, route of administration and international regimens of anti-VEGF treatment in Exudative Age-Associated Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Macular Oedema (DME), Occlusion of the Central Retina Vein (CRVO), Retinal Venous Branch Occlusion (BRVO) and Retinoblastoma. The anti-VEGF intraocular therapy represents a safe and effective choice in the treatment of retinal neovascular pathologies.

          Anti-VEGF Therapy and the Retina: An Update

          Ocular angiogenesis and macular oedema are major causes of sight loss across the world. Aberrant neovascularisation, which may arise secondary to numerous disease processes, can result in reduced vision as a result of oedema, haemorrhage, and scarring. The development of antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents has revolutionised the treatment of retinal vasogenic conditions. These drugs are now commonly employed for the treatment of a plethora of ocular pathologies including choroidal neovascularisation, diabetic macular oedema, and retinal vein occlusion to name a few. In this paper, we will explore the current use of anti-VEGF in a variety of retinal diseases and the impact that these medications have had on visual outcome for patients.

            Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor for diabetic macular oedema.

            Diabetic macular oedema (DMO) is a common complication of diabetic retinopathy. Although grid or focal laser photocoagulation has been shown to reduce the risk of visual loss in DMO, or clinically significant macular oedema (CSMO), vision is rarely improved. Antiangiogenic therapy with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) modalities is used to try to improve vision in people with DMO.
