Case Study: |
 |
|
| This early phase digital fluorescein angiogram
shows the juxtafoveal lesion clearly away from the foveal avascular zone. This lesion
clearly qualifies as to the strict guidelines required for laser photocoagulation to be
successful and to retain good central visual acuity. Unfortunately, most CNV lesions are found after central vision is lost. |
 |
|
| This late phase digital fluorescein angiogram
clearly demonstrates leakage from the choroidal neovascular membrane. If laser
photocoagualtion is applied at this time, chances are good that visual acuity can be
preserved. |
 |
|
| This digital fluorescein angiogram was obtained one week after laser photocoagulation and clearly demonstrates full closure of the choroidal neovascular membrane. The central macula is spared and the patient retains good central visual acuity. |  |
