Abstrakt: The paper presents the comparative data of retinal tomography in the presence of choroidal neovascularization. In all patients, life-time morphometry of a 6x6-mm central retinal area (at 20 degrees from the point of fixation) was made on a retinal thickness analyzer (Talia, Israel). During the study, the authors analyzed the most significant indices: mean retinal posterior pole thickness; mean retinal paracentral region thickness; mean retinal central region thickness; mean neuroepithelial thickness above the subretinal neovascular membrane (SNM). Statistical analysis showed that the increase in neuroepithelial thickness was directly related to that in the intensity of SNM fluorescence. The mean neuroepithelial thickness above SNM, intra- and subretinal hemorrhages, intraretinal microcysts in patients with age-related macular degeneration and the presence and extent of thinning and fibrotic area permitted evaluation of the magnitude of activity and presumptively the duration of choroidal neovascularization.
