Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in the Western world. Intravitreal ranibizumab has recently become the treatment of choice for neovascular (AMD). Limitations to ranibizumab however include the high cost for the drug and the need for frequent intravitreal re-injections. The investigators' hypothesis is that when ranibizumab is combined with transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) the number of necessary retreatments with Lucentis will be significantly reduced as compared to ranibizumab alone.
