Purpose: To compare 3-year visual outcomes after intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) monotherapy and combination therapy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with IVR for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
Methods: Medical records for 45 eyes in 45 patients (34 men, 11 women; mean age, 73.8 years old; range, 62-86 years old) with treatment-naïve PCV were reviewed retrospectively. Of the 45 eyes, 20 were treated with IVR monotherapy and 25 with combination therapy. Mean change in best-corrected visual acuity, numbers of injections of IVR and length of treatment-free period from baseline at month 36 were observed. Adverse events were monitored.
Results: The change in visual acuity after combination therapy was significantly better than that after IVR monotherapy (p = 0.0399). At 36 months, improvement in visual acuity was seen in five eyes (25.0%) in the IVR monotherapy group and 13 eyes (52.0%) in the combination therapy group. The treatment-free period was significantly longer in the combination therapy group (p = 0.0008). Additional IVR therapy was required significantly more frequently in the IVR monotherapy group (p = 0.0026). Post-treatment subretinal haemorrhage or retinal pigment epithelium tear occurred only in the IVR monotherapy group, in one eye (5.0%) and one eye (5.0%), respectively.
Conclusion: Initial therapy consisting of a single session of PDT combined with IVR improves vision in treatment-naïve PCV. Compared with IVR monotherapy, this combination therapy may be more effective for PCV.
