Retinal Angiomatous Proliferation and Treatment

Retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) is a different type of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) having a typical clinical appearance. RAP constitutes 10-20% of newly diagnosed neovascular AMD cases. The rate of RAP is higher in cases of occult choroidal neovascularization angiographically. Patients with RAP tend to be older than patients with other forms of neovascular AMD. It is most common in white patients. The aim of the current review is to provide an overview of the current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to RAP.
