A loading regimen of three initial monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab has been recommended for treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, no evidence supports the need for a loading regimen in all patients to achieve functional and morphologic retinal improvement. The purpose of this study was to compare a loading regimen with a single-dose regimen for treating AMD.
