Summary

The objective of this study is to determine if combination therapy (reduced-fluence Visudyne followed by Lucentis [within 2 hours] or either of two regimens of reduced-fluence Visudyne followed by Lucentis-Dexamethasone triple therapy [within 2 hours]) reduces retreatment rates compared with Lucentis monotherapy while maintaining similar vision outcomes and an acceptable safety profile.
