 Purpose:To evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy(TTT)for age-related macular degeneration(AMD). Cases:TTT was performed on 8 eyes of 8 patients. All had occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. Findings:The visual acuity averaged 0.06 before and 0.07 after treatment. It improved by 2 lines or more in 2 eyes,remained unchanged in 5 eyes,and deteriorated in one eye. The foveal thickness averaged 535.5+58.0μm before and 485.5±74.0μm after treatment. The difference was significant(p<0.05). There was no complications during the follow-up for 2 to 6months,average 4months. Conclusion:TTT may be safe and effective for for age-related macular degeneration by reducing the foveal thickness and by maintaining visual acuity,particularly in early cases.
