Macula was examined using fundus photo and OCT in 115 patients with choroidal melanoma located distant from macula before and after brachytherapy. Macular changes were revealed in 24,35% of irradiated eyes. Nevertheless primary radiation-induced maculopathy after ruthenium plaque radiotherapy occurred in 9,59% only. In the rest of cases (10,43%) macular changes were present before brachytherapy. The causes of their development were choroidal melanoma (tumor-associated maculopathy) and AMD.
