Abstract

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy is more prevalent in Asian patients with exudative AMD, but is more prevalent than generally recognized in white patients. Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy is more prevalent in anti-VEGF-resistant eyes in both white and Asian patients, which could help to predict therapeutic response.
