Summary

This study tests whether an oral antibiotic (doxycycline) can help people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who still have fluid in their eye despite standard injections. About 50 participants will receive either doxycycline or a placebo for several months. The goal is to see if the pill can dry up the fluid and improve vision, potentially reducing the need for frequent eye injections.
