These lesions often originated around the disc, at sites of Bruch membrane dehiscences, and followed the path of AS, extending to the macula in 101 eyes (80%). Despite 65% of type 1 NV remaining nonexudative, 35% evolved into exudative over 5 years, and 11 eyes experienced midperipheral subretinal hemorrhages. Aneurysmal dilations, observed in 57% of eyes, substantially increased exudation risk (hazard ratio = 3.86, <em>P</em> = 0.02). Despite treatment, VA significantly deteriorated in exudative type 1 NV (<em>P</em> = 0.02). Type 2 NV, detected in 42 eyes (33%), often coexisted with type 1 NV and was associated with poorer visual outcomes and higher rates of macular atrophy.
