Eyes with active disease received various treatment modalities. On serial follow-up of indocyanine green angiography images, remodeling of medium and large choroidal vessels was seen. The changes included large choroidal vessel attenuation, prominence\/dilatation of pre-existing choroidal vessels connecting the neovascular complex, and formation of new anastomotic channels. These changes appeared adjacent to present or future neovascular complex locations. One uninvolved fellow eye showed minimal changes on follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The long-term changes in large- and medium-sized choroidal vessels in eyes with age-related macular degeneration and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy with serial indocyanine green angiography images are reported.
