Purpose:To report the outcome of photodynamic therapy(PDT)using verteporfin for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization(CNV)secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Cases and Method:This study was made on 57 eyes of 56 cases,comprising 46 eyes of 45males and 11 eyes of 11 females. Their age averaged 72.1±8.0 years. The CNV was classified as predominantly classic in 24 eyes(42%),minimally classic in 16 eyes(28%),and occult in 17 eyes(30%). The greatest linear dimension of the lesion averaged 3.9mm. Result:After observation for 9months or longer,the visual acuity improved in 24 eyes(42%),remained unchanged in 24 eyes(42%),and deteriorated in 9 eyes(16%). The final visual acuity tended to be better in eyes with smaller lesions. Conclusion:Improvement or stabilization of visual acuity was obtained after photodynamic therapy.
