The reader is guided through the various clinical indications for anti-angiogenic therapy and made aware of its merits as well as current challenges and limitations. It is explained how, since its introduction for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration in 2006, anti-angiogenic therapy has revolutionized the way in which we treat a range of ocular diseases. All of the authors are established experts in their respective fields who share their extensive knowledge and clinical experience with the reader. This book is both a valuable introduction to anti-angiogenic therapy in ophthalmology and a day-to-day companion for all ophthalmologists seeing patients with some of the most prevalent retinal diseases.Essentials in Ophthalmology,1612-3212OphthalmologyAngiologyOphthalmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H44004Angiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33010Ophthalmology.Angiology.Ophthalmology.Angiology.617.706Stahl Andreasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254272303321Anti-Angiogenic Therapy in Ophthalmology2508601UNINA
