Abstract Purpose:To investigate the long-term results of intravitreal aflibercept(IVA)for neovascular age-related macular degeneration(AMD).

Subjects and Methods:Subjects were 54 eyes of 52 patients who had been diagnosed with untreated typical AMD or polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy(PCV), who were treated with IVA alone as the initial treatment with follow up period for 3 years and more. IVA was administered in the maintenance phase based on the situation of each case after the 3 injections as induction phases. Visual acuity(VA)and central retinal thickness(CRT), number of IVA performed, and complications were evaluated at one year, three years and last visit of follow up.

Results:The cases included typical AMD 22 eyes and PCV 32 eyes. The average follow-up period was 46.0±11.6 months and 52.4±10.8 months, respectively. VA at 1 and 3 years and final visit was not significantly different from baseline VA in typical AMD eyes. VA in PCV eyes significantly improved by the 3rd year, but not significantly at the last visit. CRT decreased significantly in both typical AMD and PCV at all evaluation points compared to baseline. The average IVA frequency was 16.1±10.0 and 15.1±9.6 respectively. During the course, no serious adverse events such as ophthalmitis, retinal detachment, or cerebral infarction were observed.

Conclusion:IVA maintained visual acuity for more than 3 years.
