Photodynamic therapy for maculopathy is the first treatment for exudative maculopathy to be effective and safe.
It is used for treating exudative maculopathy. A substance that makes the patient sensitive to light is injected intravenously: this accumulates selectively in the neovessels (verteporfin) and after that, a non thermal laser is applied.
It is abolutely necessary not to be exposed to light for the next 3 days after treatment. This laser is especially ideal to treat maculopathy of patients with myopia and/or in association with antiangiogenetic therapy (bevacizumab, ranibizumab).

I had a vitrectomy under local anesthesia about five months ago. The surgery was good and my eyesight has improved and I no longer see distorted images.
The thing that struck me most is that at first I was so used to don’t see well that I didn’t realize it, so much so that I had turned to Dr. Badalà just for a burning sensation to the eye. Thanks to the professionalism and accuracy of Dr. Badalà today I realize I see much better.
