Abstract

Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of legal blindness in the developed countries. The decrease in central vision, metamorphopsia, and central scotoma affects the reading capacity even in the early stages of the disease. In the historical point of treatment for age-related macular degeneration, laser treatment, radiation treatment, and photodynamic therapy have been used. Today, drugs that inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor are used widely. In this article, we will discuss the treatment modalities that were used widely before the era of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs

Özet

Yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonu gelişmiş ülkelerde legal körlüğün önde gelen nedenidir. Santral görmenin azalması, metamorfopsi ve santral skotomun ortaya çıkması hastaların okuma kapasitesini erken dönemde dahi etkilemektedir. Yaş tip yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonunun tedavisi ile ilgili süreçte koroid neovasküler membrana yönelik olarak laser tedavisi, radyasyon tedavisi ve fotodinamik tedavisi uygulanmıştır. Günümüzde vasküler endotelyal büyüme faktörünü inhibe eden ilaçlar gündemdedir. Biz bu yazıda daha çok vasküler endotelyal büyüme faktörlerini inhibe eden ilaçların öncesi dönemlerinde yaygın kullanılan tedavilere değineceğiz
