Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe visual impairment. Despite treatment, a central scotoma often remains. The size of the scotoma depends on the lesion size of the choroidal neovascular membrane and significantly affects the patient's quality of life, and the lesion size of neovascularization also affects response to treatments. The aim of this study was to identify genes associated with the neovascular lesion size in neovascular AMD.

Medical training with manikin-based simulation technology enables students to fine-tune their skills without compromising the safety of patients.1 An Ophthalmic Anesthesia Simulation System (OASiS; Fig 1) has been developed for learning, practicing, and improving the skills for administering ophthalmic regional blocks.2,3 The OASiS consists of a manikin having anatomically accurate orbital and ocular structures with an integrated sensing system to provide quantitative and qualitative feedback to the trainee on the block performed.
