MEWDS and PIC may share common etiological and pathogenetic mechanisms. PIC may develop sequentially after MEWDS in the same eye, and CNV may be a complication of PIC. A combination of oral corticosteroid therapy for PIC and timely intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for secondary CNV can achieve favorable long-term clinical outcomes. Regular follow-up is necessary for patients with MEWDS to monitor for potential progression to PIC and CNV.
