ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in the first-line treatment of myopic choroidal neovascularization. PATIENTS We report a retrospective study of patients with subfoveal or juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization associated with pathologic myopia treated with intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in Lyon, France, from January 2009 to June 2010. Best-corrected visual acuity, ocular pressure, fundus examination, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein angiography were performed for each patient at baseline and monthly. Indications for retreatment were persistent or recurrence of exsudative activity.RESULTS:
The study included eight eyes of eight patients. The mean follow-up time was 19 months. The mean number of intravitreal injections was three at the end of the first year. Six patients maintained or improved their vision. No injection complications or drug-related side effects were noted during the follow-up period.CONCLUSIONS:
In this study, intravitreal injection of bevacizumab seems to be a safe and effective treatment for myopic choroidal neovascularization.
