Eligibility

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. Previous vitreoretinal surgery in the study eye. Poor OCT image quality (less than 40 percentage) Other causes of CNV like myopia and angioid streaks. Subretinal hyperreflective hemorrhage more than 50 percentage of the lesion on OCT imaging.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime 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
