Ten-Year Follow-Up of Fellow Eyes in Patients with Unilateral Naive Exudative AMD.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine the 10-year morphological outcomes and identify potential risk factors for exudative AMD in the fellow eyes (FE) in patients with naïve exudative AMD.

Methods

Data from 100 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline macular neovascularization (MNV) type in the exudative AMD eye and presence of drusen, intraretinal hyperreflective foci (iHRF), non-foveal incomplete atrophy (iRORA), central retinal thickness and subfoveal choroidal thickness in the FEs were analyzed as biomarkers for progression in the second eye.

Results

54 patients developed exudative AMD in the FE at the end of the follow-up. Subjects with type 2 and 3 MNV in the exudative AMD eye had a higher risk of exudative AMD in the FE (HR=3.365; p=0.039 and HR=3.801; p=0.037). FEs wi
