Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to collect real-life data on patients with wet age related macular degeneration (AMD) for whom treatment with Eylea was initiated
Detailed description

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the measurement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to 12 months. | Baseline to 12 months | As assessed by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) method or any visual logarithmic scale |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) during the second year and until the fourth year of treatment versus the initial visit | Baseline to 2 year, 3 year, 4 year |
| Percentage of patients who experienced a gain in BCVA, from initial visit to each follow-up visit (letter score of ≥ 0 letters, ≥ 5 letters, ≥ 10 letters, ≥ 15 letters) | Baseline to 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, 4 year |
