The aim of this report is to describe a case of age-related macular degeneration with juxtafoveal subretinal neovascular membrane, initially treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin®) and afterwards with focal photocoagulation laser therapy. The efficacy of the initial and complementary treatment was evaluated through the visual acuity measurement and complementary exams (fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography). After three bevacizumab intravitreal injections , it has occurred the eccentric reduction of the neovascular subretinal membrane, changing its classification to extrafoveal, what allowed the subsequent treatment with focal photocoagulation laser therapy.
