Abstract. Purpose:To report the outcome of photodynamic therapy for age-related macular degeneration. Cases and Method:This study was made on 22 eyes of 22 patients who received photodynamic therapy for age-related macular degeneration during a one-year period. The series comprised 15 males and 7 females. Their age averaged 69.6±9.0 years. As inclusion criteria,their corrected acuity was 0.5 or less and choroidal neovascularion was located posterior to the fovea. The visual acuity averaged 0.175. Diameter of submacular lesion averaged 3,660±927μm. Results:Visual acuity averaged 0.20 6 months after treatment. The difference from baseline was not significant(p=0.36). When expressed as logMAR,visual acuity improved by 0.2 or more in 9 eyes(41%),remained unchanged in 7(32%),and deteriorated by 0.2 or more in 6(27%). Hemorrhage from choroidal neovascularization developed in 1 eye. One case developed dermatitis. Conclusion:Photodynamic therapy is reasonably safe and effective for age-related macular degeneration.
