摘要
Background/aims To describe the clinical outcomes of four eyes with macular oedema due to radiation retinopathy treated with verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT). Methods Interventional Case Series. Four charts of four patients who underwent PDT for macular oedema due to radiation retinopathy were reviewed. Snellen visual acuities, clinical examination and fundus photographs were performed before and after PDT. Main outcome measures were visual acuity, clinical examination before and after PDT. Results All four eyes had a marked reduction in hard exudates. Three of four eyes had an improvement in vision following the PDT. Conclusion PDT may have a role in the treatment of macular oedema due to radiation retinopathy.
