Idiopathic subretinal neovascularization.
Idiopathic subretinal neovascularization is a potentially blinding condition and often strikes patients in their prime of life. It appears to be seen in more females, at an earlier age than males. Treatment is possible by photoablation of the subretinal new vessel by Argon or Yag laser. There is a clinical impression that Argon laser is more effective than the Yag laser for this purpose.
