Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy(PDT) combined with vitreous cavity injec‐tion of Lucentis treatment for choroidal neovascularization(CNV) diseases .Methods we retrospectively analyzed data of 30 cases (30 eyes) of CNV ,who was diagnosed by examination of visual acuity ,intmocular pressure ,ocular fundus ,fundus fluorescein angi‐ography (FFA) ,and optic coherence tomography(OCT) ,and who underwent PDT combined with intravitreal injection of Lucentis . Results At the 4 ~ 6 months follow‐up ,the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) improved in 22 eyes(73 .3% ) ,stabilized in 8 eyes (26 .7% ) and none decreased .Among the AMD ,14 cases(70 .0% ) required only a single combined treatment for CNV resolution ;3 cases of AMD needed retreatment 3 months later .In CNV group ,all of the cases required only a single combined treatment for CNV resolution .At the therapy and follow‐up period ,no ocular or systemic adverse reactions were noted .Conclusion The treatment of PDT combine intravitreal injection of Lucentis is safe and effective for CNV ,which could improve visual acuity and reduce retreat‐ment rates .
