Indocyanine green-mediated photothrombosis for choroidal neovascularization in angioid streaks.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of indocyanine green-mediated photothrombosis on choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks.

Methods: Six eyes of 5 patients with an average age of 70 years were diagnosed to have subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks. Therapy was indicated if choroidal neovascularization was considered to be active, according to evidence of fluorescein leakage on angiograms, as well as presence of intra- or subretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography.
