Abstract

These results provide evidence that PDT can produce significant regression of neovascular corneal vessels with no observable toxicity to the anterior segments. However, the optimal laser energy necessary to induce long-term regression (150 J/cm(2)) was three times that used to treat choroidal neovascularization.
