Exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with fibrovascular PED or subretinal CNV showed good visual/anatomic outcomes after anti-VEGF treatment, regardless of the CNV type. By 2 years, fibrovascular PED did not have an additional protective effect on the outer retina, compared with subretinal CNV over 2 years. Further follow-up study might be needed to conclude that fibrovascular PED has a protective effect on the surrounding photoreceptor area.
