Pathological myopia represents the most common cause of choroidal neovascularisation in young patients. Its natural course has a devastating prognosis. Several treatments have been assessed, but photodynamic therapy is currently the only approved treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularisation related to pathological myopia. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has demonstrated promising results in any form and localisation of choroidal neovascularisation, although there is an absence of data obtained from randomised clinical trials. The aim of this article is to compare different treatment options, combinations and retreatment criteria for the management of choroidal neovascularisation in eyes with high myopia.
