Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative disease of the macular, and wet age-related macular degeneration(wAMD) is mainly characterized by macular neovascularization, which is an important reason of visual impairment or even blindness in the elderly. Subretinal fibrosis is the most common natural sequelae of wAMD, which can lead to irreversible central vision loss by damaging photoreceptors, RPE, and choroidal capillaries. Multiple baseline features have been identified as the risk factors for subretinal fibrosis, which can be used to predict the early subretinal fibrosis. Heretofore, no anti fibrotic treatment method is effective. Anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) treatment is the first-line treatment for wAMD. This therapy cannot improve subretinal fibrosis, but timely initiation of treatment may help prevent or delay the progression of fibrosis. Currently, multiple targeted molecular drugs are being developed for anti fibrotic treatment. This article reviews the clinical manifestations and significance of subretinal fibrosis in wet age-related macular degeneration, baseline features for predicting the formation of fibrosis, basic pathogenesis, and potential anti-fibrosis treatment methods,aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
