Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this observational study lies in the analysis of a treat-and-extend injection scheme with intravitreal aflibercept (i.e. injection into the eye), as applied in routine practice in previously untreated patients diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration.

Detailed Description

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

Data will be collected from the medical files retro- and prospectively. If patients are still under treatment at study initiation and have not yet completed 24 months of treatment with intravitreal aflibercept in a treat-and-extend regimen, data of the remaining observation period will be collected prospectively.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Aflibercept

Treatment-naive wet age-related macular degeneration patients under routine intravitreal aflibercept treatment in a treat-and-extend scheme

Aflibercept (Eylea, BAY86-5321)

Intervention Type DRUG

Intravitreal aflibercept injections used in a routine "treat and extend" regimen, under which the intervals between the injections are extended if disease stability is maintained and no signs of worsening disease are observed on the injection day

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of wet age-related macular degeneration.
* No prior therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration.
* Patients for whom the decision to initiate treatment with IVT-AFL in a T\&E regimen was made as per routine clinical practice.
* Patient age \>55 years of age

Exclusion Criteria

* Participation in an investigational program with therapeutical interventions outside of clinical routine practice.
* Patients with eye diseases e.g. advanced glaucoma or visually significant cataracts, likely to require surgery during the observation period in the study eye.
* Concomitant ocular or systemic administration of drugs up to 3 months before commencement of IVT-AFL treatment that could interfere with or potentiate the mechanism of action of aflibercept, including anti-VEGF agents. This includes patients receiving a different anti-VEGF agent for the fellow eye
