Avastin vs eyelea and other fda approved

My mother is on avastin that is not fda approved.

After her first shot she developed an rpe tear.

Does anyone know if other drugs like
eyelea that are fda approved may be better.

  1. the FDA allows off label use of Avastin since 2005. It is often the first drug used in new patients. https://iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2769141. Your question is a good one to ask your Mom’s retinal specialist. Is she doing ok now? Warmly, Sharon Moore patient leader
