Factors that are predictive for the outcome of medical or surgical therapy to anatomic success are desirable. Clinical tools such as optical coherence tomography and autofluorescence provide to demonstrate early morphological alterations. The value in identifying subclinical pathologies that affects the macula may help to understand better the natural course. The examination results of these tools may be useful for the correlation with post‐treatment visual acuity to better predict the eventual visual function.
