  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reviewed 185 eyes of 151 cases of exudative age-related macular degeneration. The series comprised 119 eyes of 98 males and 66 eyes of 53 females. The ages averaged 69.8±8.6 years. Laser photocoagulation was performed on 97 eyes and not on 88 eyes. The follow-up period averaged 17.4± 11.2 months. Decrease in visual acuity by 6 lines or more developed in 15 eyes (15.5%) which received photocoagulation and in 13 eyes (14.8%) which did not. Decrease in visual acuity was related neither with age, sex, type or location of choroidal neovascularization. Analysis of individual cases showed the causes of eventual visual loss to be variable. They included damage to the fovea by laser and incorrect diagnosis of choroidal neovascularization. Photocoagulution of a hot spot with hyperfluorescent plaque on indocyanine green angiography should be re-ostimated.
