Objective: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of aflibercept on sub-foveal choroidal neovascularization due to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD).
Methods: Fifteen patients (15 eyes) with sub-foveal choroidal neovascularization due to ARMD were treated with intravitreal aflibercept. The doses were monthly for the first three months, being repeated every three months after for one year, using 2 mg of intravitreal aflibercept. A total of six aflibercept injections were, finally, performed during the 12-month study. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, including the measurement of bestcorrected visual acuity, fundus examination, intraocular pressure measurement, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) recording, at the baseline and at the first, seco..
