Earliest Symptoms Caused by Neovascular Membranes in the Macula

摘要: • One hundred three patients with neovascular maculopathy and relatively recent vision loss were surveyed to determine the most frequent symptoms assess reliability of Amsler grid in helping detect early symptoms. Blurred distortion, often near vision, first reported by patients. Of 49 who said that they observing on a regular basis, only five indicated abnormality was visual symptom. However, all but did notice an during office examination, suggesting noncompliance as probable explanation for failure earlier. Patients at risk should be encouraged variety functions—including reading color saturation, image clarity—in addition grid, order help them earliest submacular fluid from potentially treatable membrane.
