Summary
The nation-wide register of patients with the exsudative age-related macular degeneration surveys the appearance and the success rate of the treatment of this disease in the Czech Republic. During the 12 months follow-up period of 38 patients treated with Macugen in monotherapy, receiving at least 7 injections of Macugen during one year period, we found the loss of less than 15 letters of the ETDRS chart in 62.2 % of treated eyes. During the 12 months follow-up period of 205 patients treated with Lucentis in monotherapy, receiving at least 3 injections of Lucentis, we found the loss of less than 15 letters of the EDTRS chart in 82.0 % of treated eyes. During the 12 months follow-up period of patients treated with Visudyne in monotherapy we found the loss of 15 letters of the EDRTS chart in 77.1 % of treated eyes.
