Abstract

Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) is an important diagnostic tool in the management of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), enabling ophthalmologists to convert fluorescein-occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) to ICGA well-defined CNV in 40–50% of cases1–3. About 30% of these can be treated with laser photocoagulation, which is the only proven therapy for exudative ARMD4,5. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ICGA-guided laser treatment in eyes with ICGA well-defined focal CNV.
