- Age 50 years or more

- Active primary or recurrent choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD in the
study eye, currently stable on an 'every three month' treatment regimen (established
using a treat and extend dosing protocol)

the study eye

- All IVFA lesion types and lesion sizes

- One eye per subject (the "study eye"). If both eyes are eligible, the one with better
VA will be selected unless, for medical reasons, the other is more appropriate

Exclusion Criteria:

- Treatment of the current choroidal neovascular membrane with verteporfin photodynamic
therapy (PDT), external-beam radiation therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, or
subfoveal laser photocoagulation (or juxtafoveal or extrafoveal laser
photocoagulation

- History of vitrectomy surgery in the study eye

- Individuals with choroidal neovascularization from causes other than AMD
