Figure 2
The impact of neovascular age-related macular degeneration lesion type on the cases of blindness (best-corrected visual acuity in better-seeing eye worse than 6/60) avoided using a monthly ranibizumab scenario compared with a no-treatment scenario. In the base analysis, 1622 cases of legal blindness were avoided with monthly ranibizumab, as indicated by the vertical line. aEligible for PDT and ranibizumab. bIneligible for any treatment. cEligible for ranibizumab, but not for PDT.
