Predictive factors for exudation of quiescent choroidal neovessels detected by OCT angiography in the fellow eyes of eyes treated for a neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To identify predictive factors for exudation for quiescent choroidal neovessels (qCNV) in the fellow eyes of eyes treated for a neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods

Prospective observational study. One hundred and forty-four contralateral eyes of 144 patients treated for wet AMD were analysed. At a baseline visit, multimodal imaging including dye angiographies and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) was performed in order to detect qCNV. Patients were followed up for 12 months with a monthly assessment. The manifestation of any type of exudation (either intra- or subretinal fluid or hyperreflective subretinal material) was monitored.

Results

The prevalence of qCNV in the treatment-naive eyes was 15.9% with an incidence ov
