Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Existing Anti vascUlar Endothelial Growth Factor (Anti VEGF) in Patients With Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) (AURA)

AURA Study: A Retrospective Non-interventional Study (NIS) to Assess the Effectiveness of Existing Anti vascUlar Endothelial Growth Factor (Anti VEGF) Treatment Regimens in Patients With Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD)

Retrospective, non-interventional, observational multi-center field study. Patients diagnosed with wet Age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) and having started treatment with ranibizumab between January 1, 2009 and August 31, 2009 must be consecutively screened and, if eligible, enrolled. Patients will be followed up at maximum until August 31, 2011. Switch to any other Anti vascUlar endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) treatment will be documented and followed up. For each patient, demographics, medical history, administered treatments, results of ocular and visual assessments and other tests (where available) will be documented.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of wet age-related macular degeneration
• Start of Anti vascUlar endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) therapy with ranibizumab between January 1, 2009 and August 31, 2009
• Informed consent form signed, where required

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participation in an investigational study during anti-VEGF therapy (from start up to August 31, 2011) that involved treatment with any drug or medical device
