Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: Main outcome measures are the changes of retinal function of the macula monitored by multifocal-ERG and microperimetry as measured 12 months. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are <br>•to document changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measured on 4 meters,<br>•to document changes in angiography<br>•to document changes in optical coherence tomography (OCT) <br>;Primary end point(s): Main outcome measures are the changes of retinal function of the macula monitored by multifocal-ERG and microperimetry as measured 12 months.
