Participant Flow

7 patients, over a 12 month period were followed after receiving treatment of either decreased fluence(2 different fluences) and 0.5mg ranibizumab, as compared to monotherapy of 0.5mg ranibizumab at a single site

patients that were considered to have recalcitrant wet age related macular degeneration were recruited for this trial
