Abstract
New MA was detected in 29% of study eyes after 24 months of treatment. Clinically significant BCVA gains were achieved with MA present over 24 months. Baseline subretinal fluid absence, intraretinal cyst presence, and fellow eye atrophy presence were associated with month 24 MA presence. With existing data, the benefits of ranibizumab for neovascular AMD outweighed the risk of MA development over 24 months in HARBOR, although outcomes >2 years were not evaluated.
