aBoth eyes of one patient
Abbr.: CNV choroidal neovascularization, Min. minimal, Pred. predominantly, BCVA best-corrected visual acuity, RAP retinal angiomatous proliferation, PCV polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. For cases in which the difference between recurrence interval times was less than 50 days, the recurrences were termed “periodical”
