What is the recommended follow-up interval after PAM management?

• A. 1 year
• B. 6 months
• C. 2 weeks
• D. 3 years

Answer: (A)

After PAM management, the goal is to monitor for stability and catch any late recurrence or treatment-related changes. A yearly follow-up provides a practical balance: it keeps eyes under review for visual function, any new symptoms, or late effects of treatment without placing an undue burden on the patient. Shorter intervals are reserved for immediate post-treatment surveillance or when there’s ongoing activity or higher risk, while waiting three years could miss late recurrences or subtle changes.
