Abstract
-
Subretinal neovascular membrane in the macula is a major cause of central visual loss. We reviewed the clinical records, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography of the 172 eyes of 166 patients in order to disclose the causes and clinical characteristics of subretinal neovascular membrane and performed argon and krypton photocoagulation in 22 patients. The common causes of subretinal neovascular membrane are idiopathic neovascular membrane, myopic and senile macular degeneration in order(27.1, 26.5, 22.3% aa). There was no significant difference in changes of visual acuity and extent of subretinal neovascular membrane between treatment and non-treatment groups.
