Purpose: To report the 24-month anatomic and Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) response after primary intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) (Avastin; Genentech Inc., San Francisco, CA) (1.25 or 2.5 mg) in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Design: Retrospective, multicenter, interventional, comparative case series.Participants: We reviewed the clinical records of 180 consecutive patients (207 eyes) with subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD at 9 centers from 8 countries.Methods: Patients were treated with at least 1 injection of IVB 1.25 mg (124 eyes [59.9%]) or 2.5 mg (83 eyes [40.1%]). Patients underwent ETDRS BCVA testing, ophthalmoscopic examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein angiography (FA) at baseline and 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month visits.Main Outcome Measures: Changes in BCVA and OCT.Results: The mean age of our patients was 74.3 +/- 7.5 years. The mean number of IVB injections per eye was 5.1 (range, 1- 24 injections). In the 1.25 mg group, baseline BCVA improved from 20/235 (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR] 1.07) to 20/172 (logMAR 0.92) at 24 months (P
