Abstract
The authors describe the management of subfoveal choroidal neovascular membranes in highly myopic eyes after laser in situ keratomileusis with photodynamic therapy. Five cases of choroidal neovascular membrane after laser in situ keratomileusis for the correction of myopia (mean, 13.3 diopters; range, -8.00 to -16.25 diopters) treated with single or multiple sessions of photodynamic therapy with verteporfin are presented. Two cases had improved visual acuity (2 to 5 lines) after photodynamic therapy, two cases remained the same, and one case lost 4 lines of visual acuity. Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin seems to increase the chance of stabilizing or improving vision in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane after laser in situ keratomileusis in highly myopic eyes.
