Clinical characteristics and antivascular endothelial growth factor effect of choroidal neovascularization in younger patients in Taiwan

Conclusion In this study we found that pathologic myopia, punctate inner choroidopathy, and idiopathic and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy comprised the four most common causes of CNV in patients ≤ 50 years of age in Taiwan. We also revealed that anti-VEGF treatment is highly effective in the treatment of CNV in this age group.
