Clinical course of treated choroidal neovascularization in eyes with pre-existing geographic atrophy: case series and reappraisal of the literature.

Conclusions : In our study anti-VEGF treatment for CNV in eyes with pre-existing GA was effective in terms of decrease of exudative changes and stabilization of VA by month 12. A similar growth rate of GA between treated and untreated eyes does not support a causal relationship between anti-VEGF treatment and GA progression in this subset of patients. Further studies with a longer follow-up are mandatory to confirm these results.
