Abstract：
PURPOSE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for subfoveal neovascularization (SRNVM) in patients with group 2A Idiopathic Juxtafoveolar Telangiectasis (IJFT). DESIGN:Nonrandomized interventional case series. METHODS:We performed TTT for subfoveal SRNVM in 14 eyes of 13 patients with group 2A IJFT, who were referred to our tertiary care center. We evaluated visual outcome and SRNVM closure rate in these patients. RESULTS:After a mean follow-up period of 8.65 months, 92.3% of treated eyes had stabilization or improvement in visual acuity as well as regression of SRNVM by fluorescein angiography (FA). One SRNVM showed persistent leakage. One patient worsened by more than 2 Snellen lines; one required retreatment. CONCLUSION:Transpupillary thermotherapy may be a safe and useful alternative treatment option for patients with group 2A IJFT with subfoveal SRNVM.
