Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Signed informed consent
  • Age \>=50 years
  • Eligibility for treatment with PDT using verteporfin in the study eye according to the Visudyne product labeling
  • Future treatment with PDT using verteporfin anticipated or expected in the study eye
  • Primary or recurrent subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the study eye
  • A classic CNV component (well-demarcated hyperfluorescence boundaries in the early phase of the fluorescein angiogram) that is \>=50% of the total lesion size
  • Total lesion size of less than or equal to 5400 um in greatest linear dimension (GLD)
  • Best corrected visual acuity, using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts, of 20/40 to 20/320 (Snellen equivalent) in the study eye

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior treatment with verteporfin, external-beam radiation therapy, or transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) in the study eye
  • Treatment with verteporfin in the non-study eye less than 7 days preceding Day 0
  • Previous participation in a clinical trial (for either eye) involving anti angiogenic drugs (pegaptanib, ranibizumab, anecortave acetate, protein kinase C inhibitors, etc.)
  • Previous intravitreal drug delivery (e.g., intravitreal corticosteroid injection or device implantation) in the study eye
  • Previous subfoveal focal laser photocoagulation in the study eye
  • Laser photocoagulation (juxtafoveal or extrafoveal) in the study eye within 1 month preceding Day 0
  • History of vitrectomy surgery in the study eye
  • History of submacular surgery or other surgical intervention for AMD in the study eye
  • Previous participation in any studies of investigational drugs within 1 month preceding Day 0 (excluding vitamins and minerals)
  • Subretinal hemorrhage in the study eye that involves the center of the fovea, if the size of the hemorrhage is either \>=50% of the total lesion area or \>=1 disc area (DA) in size
