Arms

  • Active Comparator: ranibizumab
    patients in this arm receive 3 monthly injection of ranibizumab
  • Active Comparator: Hemodilution
    hemodilution using erythrocytapheresis is performed as early as possible after inclusion, in order to lessen hematocrit level (target hematocrit of 35%)
  • Active Comparator: ranibizumab and hemodilution
    patients receive both treatments

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in visual acuity [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
