title: The changes of fluorescein angiography and visual electrophysiology in ocular posterior aging degeneration syndrome (OPADS).
abstract: Ocular posterior aging degeneration syndrome (OPADS) is related to age excepting inflammation, trauma, tumor, congenital abnormalities. Clinically, it can be divided into several types: degeneration, pre-retinal membrane, hole and mixed types. Changes can be seen in the choroidoretina with fluorescein angiography. In the degeneration type, there are changes of chroid-blood vessels, pigment epithelium and neovasculization. The manifestation in pre-retinal membrane type are small vascular tortuosity, expansion or fluorescein leadage, retinal pigment epithelium window defects. The hole type shows lack of retinal capillaries and retinal pigment epithelium window defects. Visual electrophysiological tests by various intensities and colors show the abnormal ERG. The bio-electricity active changes indicated the correlation among several ocular posterior aging degeneration types.
