It is a time of increasing hope for those afflicted with devastating retinal diseases. Less than a decade ago, very few options
were available for someone newly diagnosed with exudative AMD, and none of the possible treatments involved pharmacological
intervention. Today, numerous pharmacological therapies are available, both approved and off-label, along with a variety of
other treatment modalities. This chapter reviews the history and outcomes of different treatment methods of posterior segment
neovascularization, from the early days of pharmacological intervention to ongoing clinical trials. It then summarizes the
various directions that future research may take in pursuing the treatment of pathological ocular angiogenesis.
