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

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

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.
