Anti-VEGF: A Vision-Saving Treatment
Request an Appointment
Anti-VEGF medications are a key treatment for retinal conditions that involve abnormal blood vessel growth. By blocking a protein called VEGF, which can trigger leakage and swelling in the eye, these injections help prevent vision loss and, in many cases, improve visual clarity. Retina specialists rely on anti-VEGF therapy as a safe, targeted, and effective way to manage sight-threatening diseases and support long-term eye health. Associated Eye Physicians & Surgeons of NJ proudly offers eye care at four convenient locations: Belleville serving Essex County, Rahway serving Middlesex and Union Counties, Jersey City serving Hudson County, and Union serving Union County.
Dr. Bradford Carter Liva is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in retinal care, with a focus on injectable treatments for macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Each medication has its own features, but they all work by blocking VEGF, a protein that causes abnormal blood vessels in the eye. It is important to note that no one option is best for everyone, and our retina specialists will guide you on the best option for your condition and needs.
