Study Details

Exudative age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment is the gold standard treatment, recurrence is the main limitation of the treatment. The changes of the CNV vascular structure is expected to provide information regarding recurrence. In the eyes that the vascular structure is clearly seen in indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), the vascular changes after ranibizumab injections will be investigated prospectively.
