One of the potential causes of suboptimal treatment outcomes in nAMD is undertreatment, which may result from the need for frequent injections and follow-up visits, limitations in public healthcare funding, and challenges in achieving sustained and long-term control of disease activity (DA). Aflibercept 8 mg is a novel formulation with a higher concentration and improved molecular stability, enabling a fourfold increase in the molar dose of the active substance delivered to the vitreous body. The phase III PULSAR trial, a 96-week randomized, double-masked, active-controlled study, evaluated the efficacy and safety of 8 mg aflibercept compared with the standard 2 mg dose in treatment-naïve patients with nAMD. Participants were randomized 1:1:1 into three groups: aflibercept 2 mg every 8 weeks (2q8), 8 mg every 12 weeks (8q12), or 8 mg every 16 weeks (8q16) after three initial monthly loading doses. The study demonstrated the benefits of the 8 mg dose in extending interinjection intervals. By week 96, 88% of patients achieved an interval of ≥12 weeks, 71% ≥16 weeks, and 47% ≥20 weeks; in the 8q16 group, 53% of patients reached an interval of ≥20 weeks and 31% - 24 weeks. Over the 2-year period, patients in the 8q16 group received approximately 8 injections, compared to around 13 in the 2q8 group, with comparable anatomical and functional outcomes and no additional safety concerns. Given the proven effectiveness in improving best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), superior outcomes in resolving intra- and/or subretinal fluid (IRF/SRF), and reduced treatment burden, it appears optimal to broadly transition patients already receiving aflibercept 2 mg to the higher molar concentration (aflibercept 8 mg) regardless of treatment phase or the interinjection interval.

If proliferative tissue contracts with centripetal tension on the retina, it may result in ERM with a macular pseudohole. Centrifugal contraction may may lead to the formation of intraretinal cystic spaces, resulting in ERM with foveoschisis. If PVD occurs in the presence of strong local vitreomacular fixation, vitreomacular traction (VMT) may develop, which is also classified into four stages. VMT can resolve either asymptomatically or with the formation of a retinal tissue defect, leading to the development of a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).
