Fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography, and OCT images of a 65-year-old man with subfoveal AMD. At the first visit subfoveal CNV accompanying the serous retinal detachment and the pigment epithelium detachment was confirmed (a). The CNV grew larger after the first PDT (b). The CNV penetrated the retina five months later. Vitreous traction was observed at the edge of fibrotic lesion (c). The CNV was stabilized after about one and a half year involving six times of PDT (d)

Funduscopic examination revealed subfoveal CNV, serous retinal detachment and pigment epithelium detachment OS [Fig. 1a]. Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed the presence of subfoveal classic CNV [Fig. 1a]. Funduscopic examination and angiography confirmed the exacerbation of CNV [Fig. 1b]. The OCT image revealed that the CNV grew further into the retina as a mass and the vitreoretinal adhesions were noted in both eyes [Fig. 1c]. After 16 months with the intervention of PDT six times the CNV gradually turned into fibrous tissue and his visual acuity ended up in 0.04 (20/500) OS [Fig. 1d].
