[Therapy of myopic choroidal neovascularization].

Recently published studies have shown that myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV) is efficiently treated by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs. Within a prospective executive study, photodynamic therapy failed to prove a significant difference over the duration of 2 years. Although a systematic evaluation of different retreatment algorithms still has to be done the administration of single injections depending on specialist assessment of morphological changes, predominantly spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fundus, has achieved a marked visual improvement. The experience of treating age-related macular degeneration should not be simply transferred to mCNV and an individual approach, not only for female patients of childbearing age, is necessary.
