Patients received a posterior juxtascleral injection of 15 mg of anecortave acetate delivered adjacent to the macula using the specially designed curved cannula by Alcon, Inc. Visual acuity (VA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured on each study visit. Fluorescein angiography was used to complement the standard clinical biomicroscopic examination of the macula at baseline and at 3 months intervals. On the first day post-injection, patients had an additional ophthalmic examination including VA testing, biomicroscopy, and IOP measurement.
