- Mac Tel type 2
- Description
- Color fundus photograph of the left eye of a 70-year-old male with a disciform scar resulting from a neovascular membrane. A minority of MacTel type 2 patients develop neovascular disease, and the gold standard treatment is anti-VEGF intravitreal therapy. Without treatment, membranes may progress to severe central macular scarring. Late stages of proliferative MacTel type 2 may be confused with AMD, and a differentiating aspect is that MacTel type 2 typically lacks pigment epithelial detachments and drusen.
