[Results of photodynamic therapy of subretinal neovascular membranes according to the data of fluorescence angiography and optical coherence tomography].

We studied the possibilities of the method of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of subretinal new-vascular membranes. The results of PDT in 28 patients (28 eyes) with subretinal new-vascular membranes of different etiologies were evaluated by using the techniques of fluorescent angiography and optic coherent tomography. A reduced membrane area was noted in 17 patients (17 eye), and an improved visual acuity was registered in 7 patients (7 eyes). The use of PDT makes it possible, in a number of cases, to prevent the reduction of visual functions and even to improve them in patients with subretinal new-vascular membranes. The use of diagnostic opportunities of fluorescent angiography and optic coherent tomography is an indispensable part belonging to the monitoring of the conducted treatment.
