The main objectives of this observational cohort study are to describe the use of intravitreal aflibercept and to describe follow-up as well as treatment patterns in patients with wAMD or DME in routine clinical practice in Latin America for a study population of treatment naive patients and those who have received prior therapy (anti-VEGF injections, laser, steroids, etc.) and are being switched to intravitreal aflibercept injection.

The study population will consist of patients with wAMD or DME treated with intravitreal aflibercept. If both eyes are eligible, data from both eyes will be captured, but only one eye will be considered the study eye and included in the study analyses. The eye included will be at the physician's discretion and only visits related to the study eye will be captured in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF).
