This study is designed to compare the effect of combined intravitreal Bevacizumab and Propranolol injection versus Bevacizumab monotherapy in patients with Age Related Macular Degeneration. Methods: In this study patients with Age Related Macular Degeneration who are naïve or had history of previous treatment are included. The eligible patients in randomized in two groups "Bevacizumab" and "Bavacizumab + propranolol" and in injected intravitreally for 3 times monthly. In "Bevacizumab+propranolol" group patients receive two injections at each session Bavacizumab and propranolol. In "Bevacizumab" group patients receive only Bevacizumab. The patients are followed for 6 months and central macular thickness and visual acuity is measured at baseline and monthly for 6 month.
