ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the 10-year visual outcome and chorioretinal atrophy after a single intravitreal ranibizumab injection followed by a pro re nata regimen for myopic macular neovascularization in pathologic myopia, and to identify the factors associated with 10-year best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).METHODS:
This retrospective observational study evaluated 26 consecutive treatment-naïve eyes (26 patients) with myopic macular neovascularization in pathologic myopia who underwent a single intravitreal ranibizumab followed by a pro re nata regimen of intravitreal ranibizumab and/or intravitreal aflibercept injection and observed over 10 years. We assessed changes in BCVA and morphological parameters, including the META-PM Study category as a chorioretinal atrophy index.RESULTS:
The logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA changed from 0.36 (Snellen, 20/45) ± 0.39 to 0.39 (20/49) ± 0.36 over 10 years of observation. Compared to baseline, 1-year BCVA improved ( P = 0.002), whereas 2 to 10-year BCVA was not significantly different. Total injection frequency was 3.8 ± 2.6. In none of the eyes, 10-year BCVA was 20/200 or less. Ten-year BCVA correlated with baseline BCVA ( P = 0.01, r = 0.47). The META-PM Study category progressed in 60% of eyes. There were no drug-induced complications.CONCLUSION:
Best-corrected visual acuity in eyes with myopic macular neovascularization in pathologic myopia was maintained for 10 years after a single intravitreal ranibizumab followed by a pro re nata regimen without drug-induced complications. The META-PM Study category progressed in 60% of eyes, especially those with older baseline age. Early diagnosis and treatment of myopic macular neovascularization are essential to maintain good long-term BCVA.
