Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study: 50 Years to 110 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study: All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
Inclusion Criteria:
  1. - Age ≥ 50 years - A diagnosis of choroid neovascularization (CNV) secondary to AMD with CNV comprising at least 50% of the total lesion area on fluorescein angiography (FA) - Central subfield thickness (spectral domain (SD)-OCT central 1 mm) of ≥ 300 μm - Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 20/40 to 20/320 (73- to 24-letter score on the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study [ETDRS] chart)
Exclusion Criteria:
  1. - Neovascularization secondary to any other condition than AMD in the study eye; Blood occupying greater than 50% of the AMD lesion, or blood > 1.0 sq. mm underlying the fovea - Pigment epithelial detachment (PED) without associated subretinal fluid and/or cystic retinal changes - Clinical evidence of diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema in the study eye - Confounding ocular conditions in the study eye which will affect interpretation of OCT, VA or assessment of macular appearance (e.g., cataract, epiretinal membrane, retinal vascular occlusive disease) - Fibrosis or atrophy, retinal epithelial tear in the center of the fovea in the study eye or any condition preventing VA improvement - Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye, or currently receiving topical glaucoma medication in the study eye
