The main outcomes were the measurements of the visual acuity and visual field defects.

Previous research has shown that voretigene neparvovec administered subretinally early in childhood for RPE65-mediated inherited retinal dystrophy achieved encouraging efficacious results.

Among these eyes, 18.9% of eyes developed nAMD within 36 months.

Investigators conducted a retrospective review that spanned 10 years with the goals of describing the clinical characteristics of choroidal metastasis in this patient population and report treatment outcomes after targeted therapy compared with conventional radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
