The socioeconomic impact of mC NV in Asian countries is particularly significant due to the rising incidence of pathological myopia. There have been major advances in the treatment of mC NV in the past few years. Previous treatment modalities, such as thermal laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy, aimed to prevent vision loss;however, newer modalities such as intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) agents have been shown to successfully restore vision in many patients. Challenges remain as long term safety and efficacy of anti-VEGF agents are unknown. This article aims to provide a review of the literature of the epidemiology, progression, clinical course and treatment modalities as well as areas of future developments related to myopic CNV.展开更多
