Purpose

To recognize prognostic factors for better final visual acuity (visual acuity) in patients presenting with submacular hemorrhage (submacular hemorrhage) secondary to exudative age-related macular degeneration .

Methods

Were divided into groups by improvement of at least 2 lines in BCVA (best corrected visual acuity), and by having a final BCVA better than 20/200.

n = 43 patients

1.25

Results

1.25

vs 1.90 logMAR

initial vision was better for patients who achieved better final eyesight

n = 43 patients

More results

Mean age was 86.72 ± 7.18.

Third of the patients improved in ≥2 lines from presentation, all in the group of the pneumatic and TPA displacement.

“

Conclusion · 1 of 2

Smaller SMHs with good visual acuity at presentation have a better chance for improvement and result in a better final visual acuity.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

These patients may benefit the most from pneumatic displacement of the submacular hemorrhage with intravitreal tPA and gas.

Post

Prognostic factors for visual acuity improvement after treatment of submacular hemorrhage secondary to exudative age-related macular degeneration.

Better initial visual acuity is associated with better final vision after submacular hemorrhage treatment.
