About this trial
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness after 50 years in industrialized countries, compromising daily activities and reducing quality of life. And whose treatment is one of the first health expenditures. Since September 2015, Bevacizumab, which does not have marketing authorization in AMD, has been given a temporary recommendation for use. Studies in other countries have shown that bevacizumab is cost-effective in the treatment of AMD compared to other anti-VEGF therapies used.
