Objective: To analyze optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging of type 3 neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at baseline and following serial anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatments.
Methods: This retrospective case series describes three treatment-naïve patients diagnosed with type 3 neovascularization secondary to AMD based on clinical examination, fluorescein angiography (FA), and spectraldomain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Written informed consent was obtained from all participants and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Northwestern University. Visual acuity and OCTA imaging with quantitative analysis of the type 3 neovascular complex was obtained at baseline and following monthly intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.
