Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ranibizumab

Treatment: Drugs: Ranibizumab
All patients will receive an intravitreal injection of ranibizumab 0.5 mg at baseline (visit 1; month 0) then a subsequent intravitreal injection at month 1 (visit 2) and month 2 (Visit 3). Patients will be reviewed every month thereafter for 12 months at which time it will be determined whether the patient requires retreatment with ranibizumab 0.5 mg based on measurements of visual acuity, Optical coherene tomography (OCT) findings and clinical appearance. A drop of vision of \>5 letters or increase in retinal thickness of \>100 um on OCT will trigger re-treatment as long as 14 days has elapsed since last treatment.
