BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between subretinal hyperreflective material (SRHM) reflectivity and volume in patients treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for choroidal neovascularization secondary to exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data from 17 eyes of 16 patients with neovascular AMD undergoing anti-VEGF therapy were collected retrospectively. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) data were obtained using the Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) 512 × 128 macular cube protocol. Detailed manual segmentation was performed for each case using customized grading software RESULTS: The mean macular volume declined from 10.4 mm(3) at baseline to 9.6 mm(3) at 12 months. SRHM volume declined from 0.33 mm(3) to 0.12 mm(3), whereas reflectivity increased from 0.48 to 0.64 units (P = .012). SRHM reflectivity correlated positively with logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) acuity (r = .49, P = .04) but correlated with SRHM volume (r = -0.50, P = .04) only at baseline CONCLUSION: SRHM reflectivity, which correlated partially with SRHM volume, appears to carry independent information regarding disease activity. SRHM reflectivity may be useful for monitoring disease activity and response to therapy |
