While this patient was asymptomatic, patients need to be aware of visual changes which may be secondary to choroidal neovascular membranes. Amsler grid monitoring during the interval between examinations may assist in early detection. Detailed fundus examinations and patient education are also needed. While the efficacy of krypton treatment remains to be proven, timely diagnosis and appropriate referral, when a treatable lesion is present, will improve the prognosis for maintaining macular function in exudative ARM.
虽然该患者没有症状,但患者需要了解可能继发于脉络膜新生血管膜的视力变化。在两次检查期间进行阿姆斯勒方格表监测可能有助于早期发现。还需要进行详细的眼底检查和患者教育。虽然氪治疗的疗效仍有待证实,但当存在可治疗的病变时,及时诊断并适当转诊,将改善渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性患者维持黄斑功能的预后。
