This is a phase III, multicenter, randomized double-blinded clinical trial with two parallel groups (ranibizumab and bevacizumab) and an observational follow-up of patients who meet elegibility criteria and decline participation due to treatment randomization. It will be performed involving 630 eyes from patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) diagnosis without another eye disease. This clinical trial compares the treatment response for 3 years, considering genetic variants already studied between the eyes treated with one of the first options of anti-VEGF used in patients with wAMD, (ranibizumab) and the most cost-effective anti-VEGF (bevacizumab; off-label use)
