Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness, is caused by an abnormal growth of the vessels beneath the retina. Ranibizumab (Lucentis) is a new drug that inhibits the growth of new vessels and has recently been approved by FDA for treating this condition. This study is carried out to evaluate the changes in retinal function after an injection of ranibizumab.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The functional changes of the retina can be recorded by an electroretinography (ERG).
