Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections are the treatment of choice in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However 37% of patients are unresponsive or poorly responsive to these therapies. It is still not possible to foresee the patient's response to anti-VEGF injections. A poor response may be related to an activation of alternative pro-angiogenic pathways with over expression of many other pro-angiogenic cytokines.
The primary goal of this study is to measure the aqueous humor concentration of pro-angiogenic cytokines in AMD patients.
