We published, in 1991, a short-term result of laser photocoagulation for subfoveal choroidal neovas-cularization (CNV) in age-related macular degen-eration (AMD) in 16 eyes. The present paper describes the findings in 12 eyes after followup of 3 years or more, average 54 months. The final visual acuity improved two or more lines in 5 eyes,remained unchanged in 5 and decreased in 2. Large changes in visual acuity set in within 12 months of initial treatment. Final visual acuity between 20/ 200 and 20/320 was attained in 7 eyes, 59%. CNV recurred in 4 eyes within 3 years of initial treat-ment. All could be retreated. At the end of observa-tion, all the eyes showed no fluorescein leakage except one with persistent CNV. The findings show the efficacy of laser photocoagulation for subfoveal CNV in AMD.
