ERG/EOG Study in AMD Patients Treated With Ranibizumab (FVF4154s)

May 7, 2015 updated by: Abdhish R. Bhavsar, M.D., Retina Center, Minnesota
This is an open-label study assessing electrophysiologic testing of the retina with Electoretinogram (ERG) /Electrooculogram (EOG) tests in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The standard FDA-approved treatment for wet AMD is ranibizumab (Lucentis). This study focuses on the ERG and EOG tests to evaluate retinal responses to ranibizumab treatment in AMD.
