Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs, including monoclonal antibodies (such as bevacizumab and ranibizumab) and fusion protein agents (such as aflibercept and conbercept) have been proven to be effective in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD). However, there are still some patients with poor efficacy, such as no response to initial treatment or poor response, and even relapse during the course of treatment. In view of the different targets and molecular characteristics of anti-VEGF drugs, the switch of anti-VEGF drugs and the adjustment of delivery pattern, dosages and intervals have been the strategies to cope with the poor efficacy in clinic. However, there are some differences in the results of current studies. Overall, the recovery of retinal anatomical outcome achieves more benefits, and it is relatively difficult to improve visual acuity. To determine which regimen would get the biggest benefits, a large number of randomized controlled clinical trials and long study period will be needed.
