Pioneer operation by Oftalvist for wet AMD
The Oftalvist Group continues offering hopeful discoveries for the people who suffer from Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). For the first time, an ophthalmological centre in Spain has inserted into a patient an innovative sustained intraocular release system of anti-angiogenic drugs. A historic milestone that will lay down precedents in the treatment of one of the eye diseases with the greatest risk of blindness in patients over the age of 60 years. Oftalvist will also try out gene therapies for dry AMD in the near future, a disease which to date has no effective treatment.
