Table 1

 Demographics, previous treatments, CNV characteristics, and visual acuity at presentation and at last follow up in six patients with subfoveal CNV secondary to PIC and POHS treated with PDT

Patient number Age Sex Eye Diagnosis Previous immunosuppression CNV location Size CNV GLD (mm) Size CNV area (mm2) Baseline VA* VA* at last follow up Number of PDT treatments Follow up (months)
VA*, visual acuity: Snellen equivalent (ETDRS VA score); CNV, choroidal neovascular membrane; GLD, greatest linear diameter; ETDRS, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study; PDT, photodynamic therapy; POHS, presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome; PIC, punctate inner choroidopathy.
