Choroidal neovessels are a threatening complication of high myopia, accounting for 5 to 10% of cases. They require immediate treatment because of their poor prognosis. Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections are currently a new therapeutic alternative far exceeding photodynamic therapy (PDT). Nevertheless, anti-VEGF treatment algorithm for this type of neovessels remains a matter of discussion among the authors. The purpose of this study was to highlight the difficulties in managing these neovessels and to discuss the Anti-VEGF therapeutic regimen to follow.
