OUTCOME OF CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION IN ANGIOID STREAKS AFTER PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY

Abstract

Most of our patients had good baseline visual function and, thus, were at high risk for losing vision because of the poor prognosis of CNV in angioid streaks. Because most had no or limited vision loss after 1 year, the authors suggest that photodynamic therapy can be used to try to limit or delay visual damage caused by this aggressive disease.
