Prechoroidal cleft was found in 15% of Caucasian nAMD patients treated with anti-VEGF injections and was related to greater retinal and PED height, as well as presence of multi-layered PED. Eyes with PC required more anti-VEGF injections. The presence of PC correlates with disease activity, and intensive anti-VEGF suppression can preserve vision.
