Abstract: | Macular telangiectasia type 2 is characterized by neurodegenerative as well as vascular and retinal alterations. Previous therapeutic approaches mainly targeted the vascular changes; however, this did not prove to be beneficial except for secondary neovascularization which may be successfully treated with intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors. As the natural history of the disease is primarily characterized by the neurodegenerative processes, new therapeutic strategies, such as neuroprotective agents are already being explored in clinical trials. |
