Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Active subfoveal or juxatoveal CNV secondary to PIC, where PIC was defined as multiple, small yellow-white lesions or atrophy in the posterior pole that had typical manifestations on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images 2. PIC lesions observed around the CNV. CNV was considered active if leakage within the lesion are observed with fluorescein angiography (FA) or intraretinal edema or subretinal fluid was observed with OCT 3. Adults aged 18 and older
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. CNV was secondary to other causes, such as AMD, PCV, fundus angioid streaks, or trauma 2. Presence of any other ophthalmic diseases 3. Prior treatment of CNV, including thermal laser photocoagulation, submacular surgery, intravitreal any anti-VEGF drugs, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) 4. Administration immunosuppressants or corticosteroids (local or systemic) in observation period 5. Presence of systemic diseases or pregnancy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Visual outcomes (best-corrected visual acuity BCVA) are measured using an eye test at baseline, and month one, two, three, four, five and six 2. Anatomical outcomes (CRT, subretinal or intraretinal fluid build up) is measured manually based on patients’ OCT images using a scale of Heidelberg software at baseline and month one, two, three, four, five and six 3. Angiographic leakage is measured by fluorescein angiography (FA) images at month one, two, three, four, five and six 4. Number of treatments is measured using patient interviews at month one, two, three, four, five and six 5. Adverse events are measured using patient interviews at month one, two, three, four, five and six month | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The change in the size of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is measured using patients’ fluorescein angiography (FA) images at baseline and month six 2. The change in number or size of punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) lesions is measured using patients’ indocyanine green angiography images at baseline and month six | — |
