Effects of Choroidal Vascular Hyperpermeability on Anti–Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Treatment for Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy – Corrected Proof
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of choroidal vascular hyperpermeability, as determined using indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), on the outcome of anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).Design: Retrospective comparative series.Methods: Based on the presence of choroidal vascular hyperpermeability on ICGA, 103 eyes (101 patients) with PCV were categorized into 2 subgroups: choroidal vascular hyperpermeability (+) group (41 eyes) and choroidal vascular hyperpermeability (−) group (62 eyes). All subjects were treatment naïve and treated by anti-VEGF with initial 3 loading injections per month, followed by an as-needed reinjection. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness after (Read more...)
