Abstract. Purpose:To report the visual outcome of intravitreal injection in eyes of exudative age-related macular degeneration(AMD)as the initial treatment. Cases and Method:This study was made on 166 eyes of 165 cases with AMD. The series comprised 112 eyes of 111 males and 54 female eyes. The age ranged from 51 to 87 years, average 72 years. Typical AMD was present in 78 eyes, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in 77 eyes, and retinal angiomatous proliferation in 11 eyes. Intravitreal injection of aflibercept was performed three times at the interval of 4 weeks, to be repeated later as needed. Visual acuity was evaluated as logMAR. Results:Visual acuity averaged 0.43 before treatment, 0.36 3 months later, 0.36 6 months later, 0.38 9 months later, and 0.33 after 12 months. These results show that visual acuity was maintained after start of treatment. Visual acuity before and 3 months after treatment changed from 0.51 to 0.43 in typical AMD, from 0.32 to 0.43 in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and from 0.32 to 0.43 in retinal angiomatous proliferation. Conclusion:Visual acuity was maintained or improved for 12 months after intravitreal injection in eyes of exudative age-related macular degeneration(AMD).
