A panelist discusses how a 76-year-old patient with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) initially stable on bevacizumab developed recurrent subretinal fluid requiring a switch to aflibercept 2 mg, but after experiencing sterile inflammatory responses to both aflibercept 2 and 8 mg doses, was successfully treated with faricimab every 6 weeks, demonstrating the value of having structurally different anti-VEGF agents to minimize cross-antigenicity when immune responses occur.

A panelist discusses how a 62-year-old patient with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who could never be extended beyond 4-week intervals with aflibercept 2 mg achieved complete macular drying and improved vision with aflibercept 8 mg, though temporary vision loss from acute IOP elevation required dose modification to 0.06 mL (6.86 mg) to maintain efficacy while avoiding pressure-related complications.

A panelist discusses how an 83-year-old patient with diabetic macular edema (DME) who showed suboptimal response to standard anti-VEGF therapies, including aflibercept 2 mg and faricimab, ultimately achieved significant visual and anatomic improvement when switched to high-dose aflibercept (8 mg), demonstrating the enhanced efficacy of the higher molar dose formulation.

A panelist discusses how a 50-year-old male patient with stabilized keratoconus achieved excellent visual outcomes with an IC-8 small aperture IOL by targeting slight myopia to optimize the defocus curve, followed by adjunctive PRK to address central corneal astigmatism that was causing ghosting despite good uncorrected acuity, emphasizing the critical importance of controlling irregularities in the central 3-mm zone and ensuring nighttime pupil size remains under 5 mm for optimal results.

A panelist discusses how a 40-year-old female patient seeking freedom from glasses experienced a complicated course with a light adjustable lens that resulted in poor visual quality and 22 clinic visits, but was successfully salvaged through lens exchange to an IC-8 small aperture IOL after demonstrating the benefits with a simple pinhole occluder test.

A panelist discusses how the IC-8 Apthera small aperture IOL functions as a pinhole-based optical system that blocks distorted peripheral light while allowing focused light from both distance and near targets to travel through the same pathway, creating an extended depth of focus that ophthalmologists have long awaited in the United States.
