Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

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

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 subjects from one site in the United States will be enrolled.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study
* Age 65-90 years
* Diagnosis of Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration who present for treatment with intravitreal ranibizumab or aflibercept
