Les injections anti-VEGF sont le traitement le plus courant contre la DMLA [dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge] et l'OMD [œdème maculaire diabétique]. Ces maladies sont caractérisées par une croissance incontrôlée des vaisseaux sanguins dans la rétine et une fuite de liquide dans l'œil, ce qui entraîne la perte de vision. Les anti-VEGF ralentissent la croissance des vaisseaux sanguins. 2, record 1, French, - injection%20intravitr%C3%A9enne%20d%26rsquo%3Banti%2DVEGF

La photocoagulation au laser est une procédure médicale utilisée pour traiter diverses affections oculaires, notamment la rétinopathie diabétique, la dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge(DMLA), le décollement de la rétine et le glaucome. Le procédé implique l'utilisation d’un faisceau laser pour appliquer de la chaleur contrôlée à des tissus spécifiques de l'œil. Ce faisceau laser crée des lésions minuscules et localisées dans les tissus cibles, ce qui permet de sceller les vaisseaux sanguins qui fuient ou de détruire sélectivement des cellules anormales. 2, record 2, French, - photocoagulation%20au%20laser
