摘　　要：Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a sight-threatening disease and responsible for 8.7%of blindness globally(1).Neovascular AMD(nAMD)is characterized by abnormal angiogenesis with these atypical vessels leaking,resulting in fluid accumulation,haemorrhage and fibrosis which can lead to rapid central vision loss(2).Although nAMD makes up 15%of total AMD cases(2),it is responsible for the majority of cases of severe visual loss(3).
