Kim JH, et al. - In this retrospective, observational study, 1099 eyes of 1099 subjects diagnosed with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were analyzed to study the age-related differences in the prevalence of subtypes of neovascular AMD. They classified the neovascular AMD cases into 3 subtypes: typical neovascular AMD, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), and type 3 neovascularization. They diagnosed 34 cases with typical neovascular AMD and 102 with PCV in the age group > 50 and < 60 years. Whereas 90, 206, and 24 subjects were diagnosed with typical neovascular AMD, PCV, and type 3 neovascularization, respectively in the age group ≥ 60 and < 70 years. They suggested predominated difference in subtype prevalence in newly diagnosed neovascular AMD significantly according to age.
