Long term follow-up of visual acuity and incidence of subretinal neovascularization in Mactel Type 2 in 82 Eyes

CONCLUSION: : In patients of MacTel, the maximum vision loss occurred at the fourth year and then stabilized. The major cause of poor vision observed was CNV (active in 10.98% and scarred in 7.32%), foveal atrophy (10.98%) and central pigmented plaques (3.66%). The incidence of sight-threatening complication of CNV (10.6%) is likely to occur only in a minority of eyes.PMID:34027801 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2021.1929347
