punctate inner choroidopathy, multifocal choroidits, choroidal neovascularization, anti-VEGF, long-term outcome
Brief summary
To evaluate the long-term outcome of active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) after anti-vascular endothelial factor treatment.
Detailed description
To evaluate the long-term outcome of active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) after anti-vascular endothelial factor treatment. The age, sex, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in Snellen chart, and refractive status for each patient were recorded. All patients had thorough clinical examinations, including slit lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoloscopy, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography during each visit. Fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine angiography were performed on all patients. OCT angiography was performed.
Interventions
