Abstract

Purpose : To investigate 1-year change of visual acuity (VA) in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from 2006 and 2015.

Methods : Retrospective and multicenter review of patients with treatment-naïve neovascular AMD who initiated treatment with either photodynamic therapy (PDT), anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (pagaptanib, ranibizumab or aflibercept) or PDT with anti-VEGF from 2006 to 2015. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) VA. The difference between baseline and 1-year VA was evaluated using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test.

Results : 3,033 eyes of 2,858 patients were included. Mean age was 73.6 ± 8.6 years. Mean BCVA in logMAR at baseline and 1-year after treatment was 0.75 ± 0.44 and 0.70 ± 0.51 (n=141) in 2006, 0.74± 0.44 and 0.69 ± 0.50 (n=146) in 2007, 0.63 ± 0.39 and 0.61 ± 0.47 (n=116) in 2008, 0.58 ± 0.43 and 0.54 ± 0.51 (n=234) in 2009, 0.54 ± 0.44 and 0.49 ± 0.48 (n=354) in 2010, 0.48 ± 0.42 and 0.47 ± 0.51 (n=364) in 2011, 0.52 ± 0.44 and 0.43 ± 0.45 (n=400) in 2012, 0.46 ± 0.41 and 0.37 ± 0.44 (n=434) in 2013, 0.45 ± 0.41 and 0.33 ± 0.39 (n=381) in 2014, and 0.43 ± 0.41 and 0.37 ± 0.44 (n=463) in 2015. BCVA of 1-year after treatment did not have significant difference compared with baseline BCVA in 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively. BCVA of 1-year after treatment improved significantly compared with the baseline BCVA of eyes treated in 2009 (p < 0.01), 2010 (p < 0.01), 2011 (p < 0.05), 2012 (p < 0.0001), 2013 (p < 0.0001), 2014 (p < 0.0001), 2015 (p < 0.0001), respectively.

Conclusions : The BCVA of 1-year after treatment compared to baseline BCVA has improved significantly in AMD eyes treated during each years through 2009 to 2015.
