MACULOPATHY AFTER TRANSPUPILLARY THERMOTHERAPY FOR CHOROIDAL MELANOMAS

Abstract
Macular area changes arising after transpupillary thermotherapy for extrafoveal choroidal melanomas were studied in 23 patients. Risk factors for this complication were identified; these were the tumor margin being close (1−4.5 mm) to the foveola; temporal localization of melanoma; eyeground comorbidity (age-related macular degeneration, high-grade myopathy).
