NCT01327222

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intravitreal bevacizumab injection (IVBI) with respect to simple observation in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) presenting at baseline with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) less than 20/200.
