Intravitreal Aflibercept Injections In The Treatment Of Pattern Dystrophy

Summary

Adult-onset vitelliform detachments associated with pattern dystrophy is a genetic disorder that carries visual implications that most commonly affect the macula (area in the eye near the retina that is essential for sharp central vision). Adult onset vitelliform detachments have an accumulation of material on the outer retina. Over time, the abnormal accumulation of this material can damage cells that are critical for clear central vision. As a result, people with this disorder often lose their central vision, and their eyesight may become blurry or distorted.
