Retinal Disease

Asked for Male, 38 Years

My spouse has been diagnoised with myopic cnv and has swelling near her retina she has been advised for Accentrix or Avastin injections. I wanted to know how safe are they since we were planning for a baby. I am aware that Accentrix is FDA approved and Avastin is not however if we opt for Avastin due to affordability will it cause any problems now or in the future since we are planning for a baby?
