      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: For this group, in sterile conditions, 3 intravitreal injections of bevacizumab with a dose of 1.25 mg will be performed at one-month intervals. In this group, patients will be prescribed placebo (artificial tears) and will be used every 6 hours for 4 months. Intervention 2: Intervention group: For this group, in sterile conditions, 3 intravitreal injections of bevacizumab with a dose of 1.25 mg will be performed at one-month intervals. In this group, the interferon α 2b drop (1 MU/Ml) starts immediately after the first injection, and patients use one drop in the affected eye every 6 hours for three months.</i_freetext>
