Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of LASER therapy in patients with choroidal neovasculatization refering to Labbafinejad medical center during 1994-99. Materials and methods: This descriptive study was based on existing data. By review of patients records, the following information were extracted: age, sex, job, corrected visual acuity before and after LASER therapy (in the last follow up), the status of fundus appearance, some of known risk factors, and angiographic findings. The patients were divided into 3 groups; subfoveal, extrafoveal, and juxtafoveal based on location of CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION. Statistical analysis of data performed using computer data base. Results: Most of the patients were male, mean follow up was 9.25 months (9.25± 12.97), mean age of patients was 55/6 (14-79) years. Overall in all 3 groups after macular photocoagulation, final visual acuity increased, but the difference was not statistically significant(p< 0.29). The mean visual acuity increased from 198/1000 to 257/1000 after a mean follow up of 9.25 months. In 9 eyes (34.6%) with subfoveal involvement the mean visual acuity raised trom 53/1000 to 57/1000 during a mean follow up of 14 (14±19) months (p< 0.54), in 10 eyes (38.4%) with extrafoveal involvement the mean visual acuity raised from 373/1000 to 402/1000 after a mean follow up 7 (7±6.4) months (p< 0.70), and in 7 eyes (27%) with juxtafoveal involvement, the mean visual acuity raised from 137/1000 to 310/1000 during a mean follow up of 6 (6±5.9) months (p< 0.37). The most frequent risk factor was age-related macular degeneration. Conclusion: Although the results of macular photocoagulation for CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION are still disappointing, it may prevent further decrease in visual acuity in some selected patients.
