Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin combined with intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for choroidal neovascularization

Although the number of patients in this pilot study was limited, the improvement of acuity and the reduced treatment frequency in these patients suggest that combination therapy with PDT and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, particularly when used as first-line therapy, merits further investigation. Elevated IOP seems to be the most frequent early side effect of the treatment.
