Abstract

Occult choroidal neovascularisation secondary to age-related macular degeneration cause severe visual loss due to exsudation, hemorrhage and fibrovascular scarring. So far, no efficient treatment of this condition could be established. Recently, some publications described an improved prognosis after low-dose radiation therapy of the neovascular membranes.
