During ranibizumab treatment, vision can decrease without signs of fluid. When fluid is present, IRF is associated with poorer vision.

The "inject-and-extend" protocol-with fewer injections and visits-delivered outcomes comparable to those of the pivotal clinical trials of monthly ranibizumab.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
