The incidence of PCV in Korean exudative AMD patients was relatively high compared with that in other ethnic groups. As in other Asian patient populations, PCV occurred more commonly in men and was predominantly unilateral.

Autocrine VEGF-A enhanced RPE cell survival under oxidative stress; the autocrine VEGF-A/VEGF-R2/PI3K/Akt pathway is involved. Neutralization of VEGF-A signaling, as in eyes with age-related macular degeneration, may influence RPE cell survival.

: Levels of Vascular endothelial growth factor measured in the aqueous humor were significantly related to the disease activity of CNV in age-related macular degeneration. Moreover, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha may be related to the activity of CNV.
