Description
Summary:Excision of type 1 choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) in age related macular degeneration (AMD) have a poor visual outcome because of loss of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). [...]restoration of these three layers to the subfoveal position while maintaining a connection to the adjacent choroidal blood supply is desirable.
