Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Change in serum and plasma levels of free Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Secondary outcome measures
Amount of fluid (cubic mm) as measured by Ocular Coherence Tomography in the contralateral eye will be correlated with systemic Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor levels
Change in Serum drug levels in nanomoles (nM) units following treatment
