Lesefähigkeit nach photodynamischer Therapie (PDT) für altersabhängige Makuladegeneration (AMD) und für hohe Myopie

Abstract: Reading ability could be stabilized with PDT for predominantly classic subfoveal CNV in patients with high myopia or AMD for at least 9-12 months. The risk of developing a severe loss in reading ability (need for magnification >3.2-fold) was significantly reduced in high myopia and was stable over time in AMD.

“…In the latter patients, in the first eye, active untreatable CNV, subretinal fibrosis, or advanced atrophy were found to have taken their spontaneous course or there was scarring following conventional photocoagulation. Although Snellen visual acuity was assessed during every visit, it was not evaluated in detail, as has already been reported pre v i o u s l y, because of a lack of accuracy of these test charts in the critical range below 20/100 (10).…”

“…Therefore data comparing reading acuity of treated and untreated eyes with foveal CNV in AMD are not available. Thölen et al [22]presented results of reading acuity after PDT for foveal CNV due to age-related macular degeneration or high myopia. They showed that it is possible to prevent loss of reading acuity, but that there is only little chance of improvement.…”

“…In der TAP Studie wurde kein Nahvisus geprüft, Vergleichswerte liegen hier also keine vor, in einem Vortrag über die Entwicklung des Nahvisus nach PDT bei AMD und hoher Myopie. Im Rahmen der DOG zeigte Dr. Thölen [25], dass der Nahvisus stabilisiert aber nicht verbessert werden konnte. Daten über 10° statische Schwellenwertperimetrie und PDT konnten wir in der Litteratur keine finden, es gibt Ergebnisse von Skotometrien vor und nach PDT, allerdings nicht als Routineuntersuchung bei einem größeren Krankengut [17], die zeigen dass es nach einer PDT zu einer Stabilisierung des zentralen Gesichtsfeldes in 61% kam, nach wiederholter PDT nahm die Größe der Skotome nicht weiter zu.…”
