Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of TRANSPUPILLARY THERMOTHERAPY on visual improvement and regression of occult CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION (CNV) in patients with AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION.Methods: Thirty eyes of 30 patients with CNV who underwent thermotherapy by means of diode laser (11,=810 nm) were studied. Visual acuity, regression of neovascularization, funduscopy, and angiography were evaluated after 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Results: Out of30 patients, 8 cases were female and 22 cases were male. Mean age was 67.3 years.After a mean follow up of 5.3 months, mean visual acuity improved from 1.25 log MAR (20/320) preoperatively to 1.06 log MAR (20/200) postoperatively which is equivalent to 2 lines of improvement in visual acuity (P< 0.004). Anatomic success (choroidal atrophy or flat scar) was achieved in (73.3%) and failure (disciform scar or recurrent CNV) occurred in 26.7% (P= 0.0001). Twelve cases of pigmented epithelial detachment (PED) including 2 cases of very large PED, responded to safe treatment perfectly. Conclusion: TRANSPUPILLARY THERMOTHERAPY may cause regression of CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION in AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION.
