Clinical Features and Natural History of AMD

2009

Over recent years, OCT has become an essential part of the examination in routine follow up for AMD to guide clinical practice and analyze the response to treatment. OCT examinations can clearly demonstrate the efficacy of treatment by showing regression or persistence of leakage. Moreover, alterations of the outer retinal layers can also be analyzed.

Classic Choroidal Neovascularization

2009

Since Donald Gass’s pioneering work in 1967, which demonstrated the role of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in wet (exudative) AMD, visible (classic) CNV, well demarcated and well-defined on fluorescein angiography, has become the most characteristic form of AMD.
