What the study is about

The primary goals of this study are to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (blood vessel mapping) to:

  • diagnose the presence of new blood vessels in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
  • evaluate patients undergoing treatment for wet AMD
  • determine if reduced flow to the choroid is a risk factor for developing wet AMD.

Being studied: Optical Coherence Tomography

Conditions: Neovascular (Wet) Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Eligibility criteria

Copied from the official record. The study team makes the final decision at screening.
