Over the full 60 months of anti-VEGF treatment, eyes with MNV-1 showed a greater reduction in choroidal thickness, better visual acuity, and less development of subfoveal geographic atrophy compared with eyes with MNV-2. The significantly thicker choroid in eyes with MNV type 1 at baseline seems to have a positive impact on long-term outcomes.
