The main purpose is to find a better way to predict the timing of treatments given to patients with Wet Age-related macular degeneration using image analysis.
The study focuses on making better use of advanced three-dimensional imaging and analysis to allow physicians to know when a treatment is being effective and thus not overuse it. The study will examine how 3-D optical coherence tomography and related image analysis can be used to assess changes in the macula and retina of patients' eyes. These changes can reveal how well a person is responding to anti-VEGF treatment and thus help doctors provide proper treatment timing and care.
