Background: To assess the association between variation in retinal central subfield thickness (CSFT) with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) change in patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: CSFT measurements were obtained from 141 eyes (total 1300 scans). SD of CSFT was calculated.
