Provided are methods and compositions for treating ocular conditions characterized by the presence of unwanted choroidal neovasculature, for example, neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The selectivity and sensitivity of, for example, a photodynamic therapy (PDT)-based approach can be enhanced by combining the PDT with an ansamycin analog or heat shock protein 90 inhibitor, for example, 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin. |
