Integrin peptide therapy on horizon

Dry age-related macular degeneration measurements sought
Novel strategies have been developed to track the progression of dry age-related macular degeneration by monitoring the change in geographic atrophy and drusen using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
Diffuse diabetic macular edema regimen promising
Results of a prospective, double-masked, randomized study indicate that combination treatment with the dexamethasone implant 0.7 mg and laser photocoagulation is very well tolerated in patients with DDME and provides better functional and anatomic outcomes than laser treatment alone.
NSAID aids anti-VEGF drug
Results of a prospective, randomized pilot study suggest that a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, bromfenac 0.09%, may be a useful addition to an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent, intravitreal ranibizumab, in patients being treated for exudative age-related macular degeneration.
