Clinical outcomes of treated macular neovascularisation secondary to inherited retinal diseases: a literature review

Aruni Makuloluwa et al. BMJ Open Ophthalmol. 2023 Jul.

Abstract

Many inherited retinal diseases (IRD) can be associated with, or be secondarily complicated by, macular neovascularisation (MNV), which has been variably treated with intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor, steroids, laser and surgery. In this article, we aim to present a consolidated literature review of management of IRD-related MNV.

Keywords: Dystrophy; Macula; Neovascularisation; Retina.
