  Background: To analyze the sensitivity of best corrected visual acuity and microperimetry to detect significant visual changes after 3 intravitreal ranibizumab in exudative age-related macular degeneration. Design: Prospective, open-label study. Participants: 50 eyes of 50 naïve patients affected by neovascular age-related macular degeneration were enrolled. Methods: Enrolled patients underwent to a loading phase of 3 monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab. Best-corrected visual acuity was investigated with the ETDRS chart at 4 m. Central retinal sensitivity was tested with microperimetry using a Goldmann III stimulus to 33 points over the 12° central of the macula with a 4-2 double staircase strategy. Main outcome measures: Comparison of changes in me.. View More»
