Multiple sessions of photodynamic therapy (PDT) are crucial for treating subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. This review covers PDT reapplication, patient selection, and safety for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical treatments

Context:

  • Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) requires ongoing management.
  • Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a key treatment modality for CNV.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the necessity, indications, and safety of repeated photodynamic therapy (PDT) for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
  • To discuss unresolved issues and controversies surrounding PDT reapplication.
  • To provide guidance on patient selection and re-treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • Photodynamic therapy (PDT) often necessitates multiple treatment sessions for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
  • The article examines critical aspects of PDT reapplication, including timing, termination criteria, and safety protocols.
  • Key considerations for optimizing patient selection and re-treatment decisions are presented.
