Limited macular tranlocation for the management of ubfoveal choroidal neovacularization after photodynamic therapy

Purpoe To report our initial experience of limited macular tranlocation in patient with ubfoveal choroidal neovacularization econdary to age-related macular degeneration following photodynamic therapy with verteporfin. Deign Interventional cae erie. Method Retropective review of four eye of four conecutive patient with ubfoveal choroidal neovacularization econdary to age-related macular degeneration who underwent effective limited macular tranlocation following photodynamic therapy. The mean logarithm of minimal angle of reolution preoperative bet-corrected viual acuity wa 20/190 (range, 20/150 to 20/200), and in all eye the viual acuity wa 20/150 or wore. The major outcome meaure were potoperative viual acuity and complication related to the urgery. Reult The mean potoperative follow-up wa 6.75 month (range, 6–8 month). Potoperative bet-corrected viual acuity improved by 2 or more nellen line of viual acuity in three of four eye (75%) and remained within 1 line in one of four eye (25%). The mean potoperative bet-corrected viual acuity wa 20/100 (range, 20/40 to 20/150), and in two of the four eye (50%) the viual acuity achieved wa 20/100 or better. No complication wa oberved. Concluion Limited macular tranlocation may be a viable option in patient who have previouly undergone photodynamic therapy
