Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections are a mainstay of treatment for retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion, and usually require repeated administration over years. During each injection an eyelid speculum holds the lids open and the upper eyelid is exposed to repeated mechanical stretch.

This is an observational study. You are not assigned a new experimental drug. Researchers measure what already happens in your care or in daily life.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
This listing is observational (StudyType). The registry does not assign a new experimental drug as the study intervention.
They plan to enroll about 60 people at Istanbul. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.

Background: \- Best Vitelliform Dystrophy (Best disease), Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration (L-ORD), and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) all affect the retina, the light sensing area at the back of the eye. Doctors cannot safely obtain retinal cells to study these diseases.

Background: \- To understand diseases of the retina and the eye, information is needed about people with and without such diseases. Researchers want to study these people and follow them over time.

This study will measure the long-term whether it is safe and how hard side effects are to live with of the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) (100 mg/mL) in participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who have either completed Phase II Study GX28228 (Ladder), Phase III Study GR40548 (Archway), Phase IIIb Study WR42221 (Velodrome), or completed Week 24 visit in Study WR42221 but were not eligible to be randomly assigned in WR42221.
