The authors evaluate results of the radiotherapy by age - related macular degeneration. 114 patients (123 eyes) were examined. According to the total dose, we have divided the patients in 3 groups. Group A (12 Gy) consisted of 68 patients (74 eyes) and group B consisted of 46 patients (49 eyes), group C was designated as a control group, consisting of 21 patients (22 eyes). They have been performed in Department of Ophthalmology of Teaching Hospital of Charles University in Hradec Králové from February 1999 to April 2003. All examinations were performed before and at 24 months - follow up the radiotherapy. Radiotherapy seems to be a very promising and efficient method for treatment of the wet form of ARMD.
Key words: age-related macular degeneration, radiotherapy
