Good question, Anon.  The answer lies in the fact that there are quite
a few safety issues associated with injections directly into the eye
ball.  Evizon is not administered via intravitreal injection but rather
intravenously, which is much safer and a lot more comfortable.  Another
safety issue associated with needles in the eye is that many people who
are afraid of normal injections are terrified at the prospect of having
to undergo an injection into the eyeball itself.  Since the population
of wet AMD patients tend to be older, the stress associated with
intravitreal injections could have very serious consequences especially
if the patient has any health issues that could be aggravated by that
stress.  I know that even when my eye doctor wants to put eye drops in
my eye, I can feel my blood pressure sky rocket.  So my answer to you
is that aside from the efficacy of Evizon which is good and has
advantages that other treatments don't have, it has been demonstrated
to be safer than other treatments and that safety profile, in and of
itself, makes Evizon a very promising treatment for Wet AMD.  Thanks
for the question.
