What does treatment cost in China vs Western countries?

In China, a single anti-VEGF injection typically costs between $500 and $1,200 USD, depending on the drug used (e.g., conbercept is often less expensive). In the United States, the same injection can range from $1,800 to $4,000 USD. A full treatment course of 3–6 injections per year in China may total $1,500–$7,200 USD, versus $5,400–$24,000 USD in Western countries. These savings include medication, procedure, and follow-up visits.
