Abstract
Introduction into medicine of the drugs which inhibit angiogenesis is comparable with introduction of antibiotics in the 20th century. Admission in Poland, in September 2010, the most effective therapy of the wet form of AMD in which intravitreal injections containig monoclonal antibody anti-VEGF (ranibizumab) is used, introduced new standards of the treatment of wAMD. This therapy is refunded by NFZ. The aim of this article is to evaluate the effects of the AMD treatments within the framework of the therapeutic group B02.
