MANAGEMENT OF NEOVASCULAR OCULAR HISTOPLASMOSIS: Past and Present.

PURPOSE: To review the wide variety of treatment modalities available for choroidal neovascularization secondary to the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.

METHODS: A literature search was performed to review the multitude of studies conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of treatment modalities available for choroidal neovascularization secondary to the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.

RESULTS: Each treatment modality is reviewed, with the studies summarized and presented to support or refute the method of treatment. Two case reports are presented to demonstrate the treatment regimens.

CONCLUSION: This is a comprehensive review of the treatment modalities available to address choroidal neovascularization secondary to the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome. Investigators will continue to strive toward higher efficacy and safety with future innovations in the field.
