00:00Today is a great day, it is a great day, because finally, thanks to the sacrifice, the research,
00:12the time that a company has spent, we have a drug at our disposal that will be able to
00:21dilate in time the treatments that we patients need.
00:28What is the treatment? It consists of an intravitreal injection, for the user it means an eye injection.
00:35Well, today, up to today, the products often reached the month and a few days,
00:45after which the efficiency, or rather the visual acuity, began to decline.
00:52You must understand that in a year, doing 12 injections in the eye is a massacre.
00:58First, because you see it, because it hurts you, second, because they often have to accompany you,
01:06third, because all of Italy talks about waiting lists, and you understand well that if I have 12 times,
01:13I stay in the hospital, in addition you also have to do some check-up before doing the injection,
01:17so it is likely that I will become 24, think about it, on a single level, I go 24 times.
01:25This drug allows a distance of even 5 months.
01:31Well, this means a lot for the patient, to stay well, to see well,
01:38not having and not experiencing the frequency of the injection's violence.
01:45It also means not having the side effects of the injection,
01:50because, forgive me, one count is to do 12, one count is to do 2.
01:55The lower the number, the lower the statistic of bad luck or adverse event.
02:02Last but not least, I lower the waiting list and I lower the cost because I come less.
02:08So, if they gave us the possibility to reach all the patients with these new and innovative drugs,
02:16we would all be better and the State would also save by maintaining efficiency.
