Shortest Distance From Fovea to Subfoveal Hemorrhage Border Is Important in Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify factors influencing visual outcome in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD) and subfoveal hemorrhage (SFH) treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents.

Design

Retrospective case series.

Methods

Anti-VEGF-treated eyes with SFH > 1 disc area (DA) were identified (n = 16) and changes in visual acuity (VA) and central subfield thickness (CST) from baseline to last follow-up, along with SFH area, thickness, minimum distance from fovea to SFH border, and time to resolution, were determined.

Results

At baseline, mean (± standard error of the mean) size and thickness of SFH were 14.9 ± 2.8 DA and 386.6 ± 46.9 μm, and mean Snellen VA and CST were 20/250 and 591.7 ± 57.0 μm. Median follow-up was 47.6
