Treatment of choroidal neovascularization.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 26 Treatment of choroidal neovascularization Choroidal neovascularization (choroidal neovascularization, CNV), particularly in the macula area of the new blood vessels, because it is one of the main cause of blindness in patients to explore its mechanism, to find a safe and effective treatment has been the eye doctor, concerned about the hot spots. In recent years, in addition to laser treatment, a variety of other treatment methods continue to emerge out as the causes of blindness in patients with CNV that may bring hope. A laser treatment Laser treatment is used by most ophthalmologists, one of the main effective methods. The United States MPS Study Group clinical data confirmed: foveal CNV beyond the laser treatment, avoid severe visual loss. Foveal CNV adjacent to laser photocoagulation can significantly slow down the effect of decreased vision. Macular CNV sunken center of the long-term effects of laser treatment is better than the non-laser group. Laser treatment methods include the traditional laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy (photodynamic therapy, PDT), transpupillary thermotherapy (transpupillary thermotherapy, TTT), as well as blood vessels nourish the emerging photocoagulation (feeder vessel photocoagulation) and indocyanine green Light-mediated suppository therapy (ICG-mediated photothrombosis, IMP). 1.1 Traditional laser photocoagulation of traditional laser photocoagulation is used argon laser, krypton laser, frequency-doubled Nd: YAG or diode laser, in the FFA and ICGA images, under the guidance of the CNV lesion area photocoagulation, photocoagulation spots through thermal coagulation effect of the formation of focal scar, so that shrinking CNV dissipated. It is mainly applied to the classic CNV and laser treatment of recurrent CNV. For the occult CNV, larger CNV, associated with retinal pigment epithelial detachment in patients with disabling. Efficacy of laser photocoagulation treatment of CNV has cer
