Abstract
AGE-RELATED macular degeneration (AMD) has been increasing in white and Japanese people and in other Asian people. When caring for patients with exudative AMD, demonstration of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is essential. Fluorescein angiography, however, often does not reveal CNV under the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, a recent development, detects occult vessels more clearly.Keywords
