| Popis: | Purpose We studied the subclinical ocular inflammation by laser flare-cell meter in patients with choroideal neovascularisation (CNV) in age related maculopathy (AMD) and in high myopia (HM). Methods We enrolled 22 patients (12 males and 10 females) without diabetes, systemic inflammatory disease or previous ocular surgery or laser therapy, aged between 65 and 89 years (mean 78,2±6,3) with macular CNV. Twelve of these patients have an age related maculopathy (AMD) and ten have an high myopia (HM). The myopia was mean -14,25 D. We made an indocyanine angiography and measured the extension of neovascularization with the Heidelberg Eye Explorer analysis program. The flare was measured with laser flare-cell meter (FM-500, Kowa, Tokio, Japan) in both eyes of the same patient. Subsequently we compared the flare data of AMD-patients that had an CNV with an area similar of the CNV of the HM-patients. Statistical analysis was performed considering significant a p |
