Active Comparator: Ranibizumab 0.5mg Q4 - Participants received a 0.5 mg dose of Ranibizumab via intravitreal (IVT) injection administered every 4 weeks for the first year. Thereafter a dose may be administered as frequently as every 4 weeks, but no less frequently than every 12 weeks.

Experimental: Aflibercept Injection (EYLEA, VEGF Trap-Eye) 2mg Q4 - Participants received a 2.0 mg dose of Aflibercept Injection administered every 4 weeks for the first year. Thereafter a dose may be administered as frequently as every 4 weeks, but no less frequently than every 12 weeks.

Experimental: Aflibercept Injection (EYLEA, VEGF Trap-Eye) 0.5mg Q4 - Participants received a 0.5 mg dose of Aflibercept Injection administered every 4 weeks for the first year. Thereafter a dose may be administered as frequently as every 4 weeks, but no less frequently than every 12 weeks.

Experimental: Aflibercept Injection (EYLEA, VEGF Trap-Eye) 2mg Q8 - Participants received a 2.0 mg dose of Aflibercept Injection administered every 8 weeks (including one additional 2,0 mg dose at Week 4) for the first year. Thereafter a dose may be administered as frequently as every 4 weeks, but no less frequently than every 12 weeks.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Signed informed consent.

- Men and women >/=50 years of age.

- Active primary or recurrent subfoveal CNV lesions secondary to AMD, including
juxtafoveal lesions that affect the fovea as evidenced by Fluorescein angiography (FA)
in the study eye.

- ETDRS Best-Corrected Visual Acuity letter score of 73 to 25 (= Acuity of 20/40 to
20/320) in the study eye at 4 meters.

- Willing, committed, and able to return for ALL clinic visits and complete all
study-related procedures.

- Able to read, (or, if unable to read due to visual impairment, be read to verbatim by
the person administering the informed consent or a family member) understand and

Key exclusion criteria

neovascular AMD in the study eye.

- Any prior treatment with anti-VEGF agents in the study eye.

- Total lesion size >12 disc areas (30.5 mm, including blood, scars and
neovascularization) as assessed by FA in the study eye.

- Subretinal hemorrhages that is either 50% or more of the total lesion area, or if the
blood is under the fovea and is 1 or more disc areas in size in the study eye (if the
