Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Male or female patients ≥ 18 years of age.
* Patients with active primary sub- or juxtafoveal CNV secondary to myopia.
* Evidence that CNV extends under the geometric center of the foveal avascular zone or in case of juxtafoveal lesions there is evidence that leakage from CNV extends under the geometric center of the foveal avascular zone as proven by fluorescein angiography.
* The total area of CNV encompassed within the lesion must be ≥ 50% of the total lesion area.
* The total lesion area ≤ 12 disc areas for minimally classic or occult with no classic component and ≤ 9 disc areas (5400µm) in greatest linear dimension with predominantly classic lesions.
* Patients who have a BCVA of ≥ 20/200 (letter score of ≥ 23 letters) in the study eye using ETDRS charts.
* Willing and able to give written informed consent according to legal requirements, and who have signed the consent form prior to initiation of any study procedure including withdrawal from exclusionary medications for the purpose of this study.
* Willing and able to comply with study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subretinal hemorrhage in the study eye that involves the center of the fovea, if the size of the hemorrhage is either ≥ 50% of the total lesion area or ≥ 1 disc area in size.
* Structural damage to the center of the macula (beside CNV) in the study eye likely to preclude improvement in visual acuity, including atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, subretinal fibrosis, laser scar(s), or organized hard exudate plaques.
* Presence of a retinal pigment epithelial tear involving the macula in the study eye.
* Concurrent disease in the study eye that could compromise visual acuity or require medical or surgical intervention during the 12-month study period.
* Vitreous hemorrhage or history of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or macular hole (Stage 3 or 4) in the study eye.
* Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) in the study eye.
* Any active infection involving ocular adnexa including infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, endophthalmitis, as well as idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye.
* History of uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye (defined as intraocular pressure ≥ 25 mmHg despite treatment with anti-glaucoma medication).
* Aphakia with absence of the posterior capsule in the study eye.
* Any prior treatment in the study eye with verteporfin, external-beam radiation therapy, subfoveal focal laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy, transpupillary thermotherapy, intravitreally applied drugs.
* History of submacular surgery in the study eye, glaucoma filtration surgery, corneal transplant surgery.
* Extracapsular extraction of cataract with phacoemulsification within three months preceding Baseline, or a history of post-operative complications within the last 12 months preceding Baseline in the study eye (uveitis, cyclitis, etc.).
* Use of other investigational drugs at the time of baseline, or within 30 days or 5 half- lives of baseline, whichever is longer (excluding vitamins and minerals).
* Previous violation of the posterior capsule in the study eye unless it occurred as a result of YAG posterior capsulotomy in association with prior, posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.
* History of other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use an investigational drug or that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or render the subject at high risk for treatment complications.
* History of Stroke.
* Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test (\>5 mIU/ml).
* History of hypersensitivity or allergy to fluorescein.
* Inability to obtain OCTs, fundus photographs or fluorescein angiograms of sufficient quality.
