Summary
Purpose. — To assess the value of a monthly injection of Lucentis
®
until stable visual acuity (VA)
is obtained for three consecutive months without exudation in patients with neovascular age
macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods. — Prospective, single-center, non-controlled trial including naïve AMD patients with
neovascularization. An assessment of VA and a spectral domain optical coherence tomogra-
phy (SD-OCT) were performed at baseline and every month. Monthly injections of Lucentis
®
were performed over three months. The monthly injections were then continued until three
consecutive stable VA results were obtained with no signs of exudation.
