    Time frame: 3,6, and 12 months from the baseline visit, and annually thereafter

  2. Incidence rate, relationship and severity of treatment emergent ocular and non-ocular adverse events

    Time frame: Defined time periods during study duration from FPFV until 30 days after LPLV

  3. Mean visual acuity at quarterly intervals for the primary treated eye set

    Time frame: Quarterly intervals from baseline visit during study duration (5 years)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence rate of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: From the time the patient signed the informed consent until 30 days after study discontinuation

  2. Number of ranibizumab injections administered per patient, per eye, and per person-year

    Time frame: annually

  3. "National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25" change from baseline

    Time frame: annually

  4. Overall number of ranibizumab injections, number of visits, time interval between injections, duration of treatment, number of re-treatment, and reasons for treatment termination

    Time frame: Over time during study duration (5 years)
