Brief Summary:
Although the number of wet AMD patients with the better visual acuity is increasing, the visual improvement in patients with the better vision may not be so significant after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatments because of 'ceiling effect'. The aim of current study is to investigate the improvement of visual function after aflibercept treatments using microperimetry in wet AMD patients with the better baseline visual acuity (≥20/40).
Detailed Description:
This study is designed to show the clinical effect of aflibercept in early disease course for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with better visual acuity. It is important to extend the usage of aflibercept and give the treatment chance to patient.
VIEW 1 and VIEW 2 Study demonstrated that aflibercept was excellent treatment for choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD, but the study enrolled patients with a range of visual acuity (20/40 to 20/320). A previous study with ranibizumab, Marina and Anchor studies also had the same inclusion criteria with VIEW studies. Recently, the number of wet AMD patients with the better visual acuity is increasing. However, the visual improvement in patients with the better vision may not be so significant after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatments because of 'ceiling effect'.
The aim of current study is to investigate the improvement of visual function after aflibercept treatments using microperimetry in wet AMD patients with the better baseline visual acuity (≥20/40). And correlation of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings and microperimetry will be evaluated to provide investigators with additional data about the effects of therapeutic agents.
In this study, the aflibercept will be treated according to the Ministry of Food and drug safety guideline. Also, the patients will be provided with aflibercept, microperimetry and imaging tests (fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, optical coherence tomography and OCTA).
