Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Intense Pulsed Light Injury

The authors report a 26-year-old medical device saleswoman developing choroidal neovascularization after injury by intense pulsed light with detection and monitoring by optical coherence tomography angiography and treatment with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab. This is the first intense pulsed light–related choroidal neovascularization case, which reminds the importance of using appropriate eye protection throughout the course of treatment for all individuals present in the therapy room.
