Abstract Background This study aimed to compare the regressive effects of aflibercept and faricimab on pigment epithelial detachment (PED) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Methods In total, 41 eyes of 40 patients diagnosed with type 1 macular neovascularization were retrospectively analyzed using multimodal imaging. Of these, 23 eyes were treated with intravitreal aflibercept injections (IVA group), and 18 eyes were treated with intravitreal faricimab (IVFa group), with 3 consecutive injections administered as loading dose therapy. Before treatment and at 1, 2, and 3 months after the first treatment, the maximum height (MH) and maximum diameter (MD) of the PED were measured using optical coherence tomography in each treatment group. Results In the IVA group, the MH at baseline (215 ± 177 μm) was reduced to 141 ± 150 (P = 0.06), 119 ± 150 (P |
