One-year results of photodynamic therapy for small predominantly classic choroidal neovascular membranes secondary to age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: To determine the visual and angiographic outcomes of patients with small predominantly classic choroidal neovascular membranes (CNV) undergoing photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Methods: The subjects were a cohort of patients with age-related predominantly classic CNV with lesion size of greatest linear diameter of 2000 microm or less treated with PDT. Lesion size and visual acuity were recorded at baseline and at 3-month intervals.
