摘要

Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate an optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual acuity (VA)-guided, variable-dosing regimen with intravitreal ranibizumab injection for treating patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from 2007 to 2012. Design: This was a retrospective clinical study of 5?years follow-up in a tertiary eye center. Patients and methods: In this study, 66 patients with neovascular AMD (mean age of 74?years, SD 8.7?years) were included. We investigated the development of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the number of intravitreal injections, and the central retinal thickness measured with OCT (OCT Spectralis) over 5?years of intravitreal treatment. Results: The mean number of intravitreal ranibizumab injections over 5?years was 8.8. The mean BCVA before therapy was 0.4 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). After 5?years of therapy, the mean BCVA was 0.6?logMAR. In all, 16% of treated patients had stable VA over 5?years and 10% of study eyes approved their VA. The mean OCT-measured central retinal thickness at the beginning of this study was 295?μm; after 5?years of treatment, the mean central retinal thickness was 315?μm. There was an increase in central retinal thickness in 47.5% of examined eyes. Conclusion: Other studies showed VA improvement in OCT-guided variable-dosing regimens. Our study revealed a moderate decrease in VA after a total mean injection number as low as 8.8?injections over 5?years. In OCT, an increase in central retinal thickness over 5?years could be observed. Probably, this is due to deficient treatment when comparing the total injection number to other treatment regimens. Anti-VEGF therapy helps to keep the VA stable for a period of time, but cannot totally stop the progression of the disease completely. Patients with late stages of neovascular AMD can maintain VA even if they are relatively undertreated.
