Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients diagnosed with neovascular age related macular degeneration. Underwent 3 loading doses of intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy. Clear media. Willing to comply with scheduled followup imaging and visual function testing. Consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Concurrent retinal pathologies like diabetic or hypertensive retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion History of uveitis or ocular inflammation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine whether the qualitative pattern of SHRM change (e.g., complete resolution, partial regression, or transformation into fibrosis) over a 3-month period correlates with the degree of visual function improvement in patients undergoing anti-VEGF therapy for neovascular AMD. Timepoint: assessed at 4weeks and 8 weeks followup of last injection | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Predictive value of early SHRM change in forecasting 3-month visual outcome Timepoint: assessed at 4weeks & 8 weeks followup of last injection;Incidence of morphological transformation of SHRM to fibrosis. Timepoint: assessed at 4weeks & 8 weeks followup of last injection | — |
