Anti-VEGF drugs may cause for some patients to regain their vision that was lost due to AMD. VEGF stands for vascular endothelial growth factor, that is released by the retina in cases of wet AMD. It causes new blood leakage, vessels, and bleeding under the retina. The Anti-VEGF drugs stop blood vessels from forming under the retina and they also block any existing blood vessels from leaking.
