Three patients with pathological myopia(PM) due to both active macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and macular retinoschisis (MRS) in the same eye were treated by photodynamic therapy for CNV. The patients were evaluated before and after photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), color fundus photography, optical coherent tomography (OCT), and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) when necessary. The patients were followed for 120, 94, 34 months. Besides the therapeutic effect of PDT to CNV, we observed healing of the MRS in all 3 patients.
