[Treatment of age-related macular degeneration with intravitreous injections of bevacizumab (Avastin): short-term results].

Purpose: To analyse short term visual outcomes and macular morphologic changes associated with intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (Avastin) therapy for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) METHOD: Retrospective study of 59 eyes. Each included eye received 3 intravitreal injections of 1.25 mg bevacizumab at 4 to 6-week intervals.
