Photodynamic therapy(PDT)is a new technique to diagnose and treat diseases with photodynamic effect produced by photosensitizer and light, and is now a main method of treating exudative age-related macular degeneration(AMD). In recent years, with the development of science and technology, combinations of PDT have become a research hot spot. In this paper, we reviewed the research status of treatments on exudative AMD with PDT combined anti-VEGF drugs.
