One-Year Outcomes of Photodynamic Therapy in Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy in Japanese Patients

Photodynamic therapy is more efficacious for PCV than for AMD, which may explain the good results in Japanese patients. Further study should assess the long-term clinical results.
