can safely reduce the risk of vision loss in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design: Two multicenter, double-masked, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials. Setting: Twenty-two ophthalmology practices in Eu-rope and North America. Participants:Patients with subfoveal CNV lesions caused by AMD measuring 5400 µm or less in greatest linear di-mension with evidence of classic CNV and best-corrected visual acuity of approximately 20/40 to 20/200. Methods: Six hundred nine patients were randomly as-signed (2:1) to verteporfin (6 mg per square meter of body surface area) or placebo (5 % dextrose in water) admin-istered via intravenous infusion of 30 mL over 10 min
