Evaluate the benefit of faricimab (4 loading doses + PRN) on best-corrected visual acuity in patients with nAMD. Evaluate the safety and anatomical improvement of faricimab (4 loading doses + PRN) in patients with nAMD.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, observational study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of faricimab (4 loading doses + PRN) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Patients first receive four intravitreal loading injections of faricimab (6 mg each) at 4-week intervals, followed by a pro re nata (PRN) treatment phase. The study assesses changes from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, choroidal vascularity index (CVI), maximum pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height, and the proportion of patients with intraretinal fluid (IRF) / subretinal fluid (SRF) at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48. The objective is to evaluate the visual benefit, anatomical improvement, and safety of faricimab (4 loading doses + PRN) in treating nAMD. The use of other anti-VEGF agents (systemic or ocular) is prohibited during the treatment period.

Choroidal Vascularity Index (CVI)
CVI represents the proportion of the total choroidal area occupied by blood vessels (luminal area).
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,16 weeks,24 weeks,48 weeks
visual contrast sensitivity
Visual contrast sensitivity is the ability to detect differences in luminance (brightness) between an object and its background.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,16 weeks,24 weeks,48 weeks
Height of pigment epithelial detachment
The vertical distance between the detached retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the underlying Bruch's membrane.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,16 weeks,24 weeks,48 weeks
