Overview

This study evaluates the effectiveness of intravitreal Aflibercept (IVA) injection therapy, combined with peripheral laser photocoagulation, in the treatment of macular edema caused by Leber's miliary aneurysm. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because to our knowledge, it is the first to report cases, in which IVA injection therapy was used to treat this condition.
