PPV: pars plana vitrectomy; BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; Y: year; CNV: choroidal neovascularization; SMH: submacular hemorrhage; GD: greatest diameter; DD: disc diameter; tPA: tissue plasminogen activator; VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor; IV: intravitreal injection; M: months; logMAR: logarithm of minimal angle resolution; VH: vitreous hemorrhage; F: female; M: male; PCV: polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy; tAMD: typical age-related macular degeneration; RAP: retinal angiomatous proliferation; IVB: intravitreal bevacizumab; SO: silicone oil; IVA: intravitreal aflibercept; IVR: intravitreal ranibizumab; LD: loading dose; PRN: pro le nata; TAE: treat and extend; MH: macular hole; PVR: proliferative vitreous retinopathy; PDT: photodynamic therapy; PC: photocoagulation; SB: scleral buckling; RD: retinal detachment; ME: macular edema; LP: light perception; HM: hand motion; CF: counting finger. Condition at final follow-up: ◎: dry macula without anti-VEGF after PPV; 〇: dry macula after anti-VEGF discontinued because of reduced activity, △: no fluid but proactive treatment ongoing or wet but anti-VEGF discontinued because of no additional benefit, ×: wet and anti-VEGF therapy ongoing.
