MIAMI — A large-scale, single-center analysis demonstrated a low rate of endophthalmitis associated with anti-VEGF treatment, a presenter here said.

Patients tend to present very quickly after the injections, a contrary distinction from that seen with cataract surgery," Andrew A. Moshfeghi, MD, MBA, OSN Retina/Vitreous Board Member, said at Angiogenesis, Exudation and Degeneration 2012.
