TL;DR: Although the primary outcome was not statistically significantly in favor of verteporfin therapy at 2 years as it had been at 1 year of follow-up, the distribution of change in visual acuity at the month 24 examination showed that this group was more likely to have improvedVisual acuity through the month24 examination.
