[QUOTE="agwagw, post: 2383280, member: 415845"] Agreed, the goal of both treatments is to try and prevent new, undesirable, blood vessel growth. If the growth is close to the fovea then laser treatment isn't possible due to the danger to central vision. Until anti-VEGF treatments were developed the only alternative was to perform a vitrectomy, which is terribly invasive. [/QUOTE]
