: In patients of MacTel, the maximum vision loss occurred at the fourth year and then stabilized. The major cause of poor vision observed was CNV (active in 10.98% and scarred in 7.32%), foveal atrophy (10.98%) and central pigmented plaques (3.66%). The incidence of sight-threatening complication of CNV (10.6%) is likely to occur only in a minority of eyes.
