More than 1.6 million people in the US currently have one or both eyes affected by the advanced stage of AMD.\n\nLucentis® is the most effective treatment for neovascular AMD studied to date. Bevacizumab (Avastin®) and Lucentis® are derived from the same monoclonal antibody. Following the encouraging clinical trial results with Lucentis®, several investigators began evaluating intravitreal Avastin® for the treatment of CNV. Given its molecular similarity to Lucentis, its low cost, and its availability, the interest in Avastin® has been considerable. Avastin® has not been evaluated relative to Lucentis®.\n\nIn addition, previous studies do not answer the question of whether a reduced dosing schedule is as effective as a fixed schedule of monthly injections. Treatment dependent on clinical response has the potential to reduce the treatment burden to patients as well as to reduce the overall cost of therapy.\n\nOnly a single eye in each patient was analyzed.\n\nAt the five year follow-up visit, the subjects will undergo the same examinations and procedures as in the original study; however, the five year follow-up visit deos not involve any
