老凯瑟琳爵士3月6日的新闻特写(第818页)1关于老年性黄斑变性(AMD)，简要涉及手术，但主要集中在其他类型的治疗上。AMD是工业化国家老年人严重视力丧失的最重要原因，大多数治疗方法仅针对渗出型AMD。最近发生的黄斑下脉络膜新生血管(CNV)继发于AMD的患者的治疗选择更少，特别是当疾病是双眼的，并与双眼视力低下有关时。光凝会导致中心视力的永久性丧失和视网膜色素上皮的缺陷。2CNV(黄斑下手术)作为治疗中心凹下CNV的替代方法，并不能改善中心视网膜的敏感度，而且大多数患者的视力较差。3.
Sir—Kathryn Senior’s March 6 news feature (p 818) 1 on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) briefly touches on surgery, but focuses mainly on other types of treatment. AMD is the most important cause of severe visual loss among elderly people in the industrialised countries and most treatment methods are for the exudative form of AMD only. There are even fewer treatment options for patients with recent onset of subfoveal choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) secondary to AMD, especially when the disease is bilateral and associated with poor vision in both eyes. Photocoagulation leads to permanent loss of the central vision and a retinal pigment epithelium defect. 2 Excision of CNV (submacular surgery) as an alternative to photocoagulation for the management of subfoveal CNV does not improve central retinal sensitivity and results in poor visual outcome in most patients. 3
