| Abstract |
|
To evaulate the closure and recurrence rate of laser treatment for juxtafoveal and extrafoveal CNV with well-defined boundary, we studied 15 eyes of 15 patients that could be followed up for at least 1 year. The follow-up ranged form 12 to 31 months(mean, 17.1 months). Three and six weeks after laser treatment, all neovascularization was obliterated. Eight months, after laserphotocoagulation was obliterated. Eight months, after laser photocoagulation there was one recurrence in juxtafoveal CNV. In7 of 10 laser-treated eyes in classic, extrafoveal CNV, visual or more in three eyes. Of 5 laser-treated eyes in classic, juxtafoveal CNV, visual acuity had changed by no more than 2 lines in 3 eyes and decreased by 2 or more lines in 2 eyes. The short-term results of laser treatment for classic CNV were good, but long-term evaluation is required. |
