Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective, non-randomized study of 28 eyes of 28 patients with subfoveal CNVM (classic, occult or mixed) secondary to AMD. RESULTS: Fifteen patients (53.57%) maintained their pre-treatment vision, 2 (7.14%) patients showed improvement of more than 2 lines and 11 (39.28%) patients showed deterioration of vision by >2 lines. Angiographic and clinical regression of CNVM was noted in 19 patients (67.8%) on an average follow up of 15.32 +/- 3.31 months. CONCLUSION: TTT leads to stabilisation of vision in 60% of treated eyes with CNVM due to AMD.
