Subretinal surgery for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) shows variable visual outcomes. Patient selection based on underlying disease is crucial for potential visual recovery, but superiority over other treatments is unproven.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Retinal Surgery
Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV)

Context:

Subretinal surgery for CNV has been available for a decade.
Numerous studies have assessed visual outcomes and complications.
Understanding the role of this surgical approach is ongoing.

Purpose:

To review the literature on subretinal surgery for CNV.
To clarify indications, visual outcomes, and surgical complications.
To inform patient selection for this procedure.

Summary:

Visual prognosis after subretinal surgery for CNV varies with the underlying condition.
Patients with focal RPE/Bruch's membrane defects (e.g., presumed ocular histoplasmosis, idiopathic CNV) may benefit.
Widespread defects (e.g., AMD) generally have a poorer prognosis for visual acuity recovery.

Impact:

Current evidence does not definitively prove subretinal surgery's superiority over photocoagulation or observation.
Patient selection relies on published data pending results from trials like the Submacular Surgery Trial.
Further research is needed to establish the definitive role of subretinal surgery in CNV management.
