Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin for juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization in pathologic myopia: a long-term follow-up study.

2007

Purpose To assess the effect of verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) in juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to pathologic myopia (PM). Design Prospective, open-label, consecutive, interventional case series. Methods We prospectively followed a series of 48 consecutive patients (49 eyes) with pathologic myopia (≥ 6 diopters) who received verteporfin PDT for juxtafoveal CNV. This population was divided into two groups based on age (group A ≤ 55 years old, group B >55 years old), in three subgroups based on CNV lesion size, and in three categories based on refractive error at baseline. Results The median follow-up was 32 months (range, 12 to 56 months). Visual acuity (VA…
