As a progressive chronic disease, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the
leading cause of irreversible vision impairment worldwide. Experimental and
clinical evidence has demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
plays a vital role in the formation of choroidal neovascularization. Intravitreal
injections of anti-VEGF agents have been recommended as a first-line treatment
for neovascular AMD. However, persistent fluid or recurrent exudation still
occurs despite standardized anti-VEGF therapy. Patients suffering from refractory
or recurrent neovascular AMD may develop mechanisms of resistance to anti-VEGF
therapy, which results in a diminished therapeutic effect. Until now, there has
been no consensus on the definitions of refractory neovascular AMD and recurrent
neovascular AMD. This article aims at clarifying these concepts to evaluate the
efficacy of switching drugs, which contributes to making clinical decision more
scientifically. Furthermore, insight into the causes of resistance to anti-VEGF
therapy would be helpful for developing possible therapeutic approaches, such as
combination therapy and multi-target treatment that can overcome this resistance.
