  • Title: A long-term follow-up study of laser coagulation of neovascular membranes in angioid streaks.
    Author: Gelisken O, Hendrikse F, Deutman AF.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1988 Mar 15; 105(3):299-303. PubMed ID: 2449820.
    Abstract:
    We treated 30 eyes (24 patients) with angioid streaks and neovascular membranes using light coagulation. Of 30 eyes, 16 showed either ameliorated or unchanged visual acuity. Twelve of the remaining 14 eyes retained a visual acuity of 20/200 or better. In 11 patients, the fellow untreated eye showed central macular degeneration with loss of central vision. The follow-up period ranged from two months to 16 years (mean, 3.4 years).
