Although objective quantification of vascular parameters showed a significant remodelling of the MNV post-loading phase of aflibercept in type 1 and 2 MNV subtypes, none of the quantified vascular metrics correlated to the macular fluid response. These findings highlight a dissociation of anti-angiogenic and anti-permeability properties of aflibercept therapy during the loading phase.
