Observational Study to Evaluate and Compare the Rate and Extent of Inflammation After a Single Intravitreal Injection of Ranibizumab vs. a Single Intravitreal Injection of Aflibercept in Treatment Naive and Treatment Experienced Patients
This open-label, Phase IV prospective, observational study will evaluate patients, who have
been diagnosed with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration and have previously
received either a standard intravitreal injection of ranibizumab or aflibercept, in order to
get and compare information regarding post-injection inflammatory (irritation in the eye)2-3
days post-injection.
Additionally, patients will be evaluated for visual acuity and pain 2-3 days post-injection.

Additionally, patients will be evaluated for visual acuity and pain 2-3 days post-injection.
Patients, age 65 to 90, with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration who present for
treatment with intravitreal ranibizumab or aflibercept will be selected in this study. 300

- Treatment with systemic anti-inflammatory agents
- Known systemic autoimmune diseases
- Treatment with intraocular steroids in the past 3 months
- History of intraocular surgery in the past 3 months
