[Comparative Clinical and Ultrastructural Analysis of the Results from Ranibizumab and Aflibercept in Patients with PDR].

CONCLUSION: Our results show that aflibercept is very effective in treating PDR. It causes more significant reduction of endothelial fenestration and more evident thrombotic microangiopathy than other anti-VEGF drugs, and thus diminishes macular oedema and prevents neovascular tissue from bleeding. Eylea inhibits both VEGF and placental growth factor and thus modifies the whole pathophysiology of DR. It is therefore more effective than other treatment medications.
