| Summary: |
Age-related macular
degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of legal
blindness among the urbanized world. Neovascular type of
the disease which is responsible for majority of severe
vision loss in course of AMD has received few years ago
a new treatment modality – photodynamic therapy (PDT)
with verteporfin (Visudyne). Efficacy of PDT depends on
angiographic feature of chorioneovascularization (CNV).
There are three main types of CNV: predominantly classic,
minimally classic and occult with no classic CNV. No
population studies on prevalence of these types are
available. We analyzed fluorescein angiography (FA)
performed in Eye Clinic of Silesian School of Medicine
in Katowice, Poland. FA were performed between January
2002 and March 2004. 2942 cases of CNV due to AMD was
identified and their type was stated. Statistical
assessment of CNV types frequency was executed. CNV
location and size was defined as well. Visual acuity
data from patients medical history was used for deeper
analysis. |
