I did research on the current wet/dry macular degeneration treatments at Wills Eye in Philly
Eylea HD just stands for high dosage cause we went from 2mg of fluid being injected into the eye to 8mg being injected. Anymore didn't work to well with no significant increase in the amount of time a patient could go between shots
The current biopharmakinetics is focused on vasoconstricting of the vessels around the eyes. This prevents future eye floaters from leaking into the eye and helps to decrease a persons "IOP" by reducing the constant eye pressure that comes with high blood pressure. And combine high BP is a comorbidity to diabetes the current eye injections effectively make the tiniest blood vessels in the eye to constrict and stop just constantly leaking floaters into your eyes.
There was one of the randomized trial drugs that was actually very different from the other ones and the opthos images for those patients after 4 weeks of treatment showed new / healthier non leaking blood vessel growing and the people went from 200/20 vision to 20/20 vision in less then 3 months
