Retinal Functional Changes Measured by Microperimetry in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treated With Ranibizumab

Intravitreal 0.5 mg ranibizumab therapy improves retinal function, quantified not only by visual acuity, but also by mean retinal sensitivity and fixation stability, as assessed by scanning laser ophthalmoscope microperimetry. Measurement of retinal sensitivity may facilitate evaluation of the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab treatment in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
