  1. Central macular thickness (CMT) before the initiation of treatment with ranibizumab, 6 and 3 months before the switch to aflibercept, at the day of the decision to switch and every 3 months after the switch up to 36 months follow-up. CMT was significantly decreased compared to baseline 3 months pre switch and every trimester post switch except in month 24. (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test)
