            Therapy for the Treatment of Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration 
            This session will be of interest to general ophthalmologists and those 
            wishing to become familiarized with Visudyne therapy for the treatment 
            of wet age-related macular degeneration. Several clinical examples 
            will be reviewed, including diagnosis by fluorescein angiogram and 
            narration of a Visudyne treatment.  |
