ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.METHODS:
This retrospective study was performed at Kim's Eye Hospital in South Korea. Patients who were diagnosed with neovascular age-related macular degeneration between January 2017 and December 2017 were included. The incidence of BALAD was compared among different types of macular neovascularization (MNV). The best-corrected visual acuity and central retinal thickness at diagnosis were compared between patients showing BALAD at diagnosis and those who did not.RESULTS:
Among the 442 patients included, BALAD was observed in 20 patients (4.5%). There was a significant difference in the incidence of BALAD between Type 1 MNV (2.7%), Type 2 MNV (12.5%), and Type 3 MNV (0%) (P < 0.001). The best-corrected visual acuity was significantly worse (mean 1.26 ± 0.79 vs. 0.62 ± 0.50, P = 0.001), and the central retinal thickness was significantly greater (mean 648.2 ± 211.1 µm vs. 464.0 ± 175.5 µm, P < 0.001) in patients with BALAD than in those without it. After antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy, all BALADs resolved.CONCLUSION:
This study first reported the incidence of the BALAD in neovascular age-related macular degeneration in a Korean population. The incidence of BALAD was the highest in Type 2 MNVs. Bacillary layer detachment generally develops in eyes with great macular thickness and poor visual acuity.
