About this trial
This study investigates the prognostic value of macular neovascularization (MNV) subtypes in patients treated with pneumatic displacement for submacular hemorrhage. The researchers will compare anatomical and functional outcomes (visual acuity) between PCV, RAP, and other MNV forms within a Caucasian cohort to identify subtype-specific predictors of recovery.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients undergoing pneumatic displacement (PD) for submacular hemorrhage (SMH), secondary to macular neovascularization (MNV)
Age 50 years or older at the time of SMH diagnosis
Caucasian ethnicity
SMH involving the central or internal ring of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid (within a 3 mm circumference centered on the fovea)
Disqualifiers
SMH estimated to be present for more than 15 days at the time of diagnosis
SMH secondary to conditions other than MNV
Presence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the study eye
Aphakia in the study eye
