The aflibercept biosimilar is indicated for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration, macular edema following retinal vein occlusion, diabetic macular edema, and diabetic retinopathy.
Until recently, no treatment options were available for MacTel type 2. Standard management involved annual or semiannual monitoring to track vision changes and the onset of choroidal neovascularization, which, when present, could be treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy. In March 2025, however, the FDA approved the first therapy for nonproliferative MacTel, revakinagene taroretcel-lwey (Encelto; Neurotech Pharmaceuticals).
