Highlights

  • Approximately half of PCV eyes with complete polypoidal regression under aflibercept experience recurrence within 2 years when managed with PRN regimens.
  • Visual acuity decline and new hemorrhages occur in a subset of recurrent cases, underscoring the need for vigilant monitoring.
  • Baseline presence of massive subretinal hemorrhage may predict lower recurrence risk, while leakage without hemorrhage may indicate higher recurrence potential.
  • Posttreatment OCT biomarkers offer promising stratification tools for tailoring continuation versus deferral of anti-VEGF therapy in PCV.
