This prospective study will include patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration or diabetic macular edema, scheduled for intravitreal aflibercept. Ocular perfusion will be measured by Laser Speckle Flowgraphy (LSFG). The parameter Mean Blur Rate (MBR) reflects erythrocyte flow velocity and serves as an indirect marker of perfusion. MBR will be measured at the optic nerve head (ONH). The devices software can analyze MBR in areas of major retinal vessels (MV) and in microperfusion areas (MT) separately. Measurements will be conducted on the day of the planned intravitreal injection and one and four weeks post-injection.
