Forty consecutive patients with age-related macular degeneration and a choroidal neovascular membrane in the center of the macula were treated by dye laser photocoagulation. After a mean 24 month follow-up period, 21 patients (52.5%) remained stable or improved in vision. Of 21 patients with initial visual acuity of 20/100 or better, 11 patients (52%) remained 20/100 or better. In the control group only four patients (25%) remained stable or improved, and only two (15%) remained 20/100 or better. The theoretical and clinical advantages of the indirect laser treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascular membranes in age-related macular degeneration are discussed.
连续40例年龄相关性黄斑变性且黄斑中心有脉络膜新生血管膜的患者接受了染料激光光凝治疗。经过平均24个月的随访期后，21例患者（52.5%）视力保持稳定或提高。在初始视力为20/100或更好的21例患者中，11例患者（52%）视力仍保持在20/100或更好。在对照组中，只有4例患者（25%）视力保持稳定或提高，只有2例（15%）视力仍保持在20/100或更好。讨论了年龄相关性黄斑变性中经间接激光治疗黄斑下脉络膜新生血管膜的理论和临床优势。
