Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates how COVID-19 lockdowns affected treatment outcomes for eyes with conditions like neovascular age-related macular degeneration across eight countries.
- A total of 5,782 eyes were analyzed, revealing a significant decrease in the number of injections and visits post-lockdown, which correlated with vision loss in patients.
- The findings indicate a high dropout rate from treatment post-lockdown, emphasizing the need to prioritize care for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration moving forward.
Purpose: To compare treatment intensity and mean visual acuity gains for first- and second-affected eyes with age-related macular degeneration nAMD over 5 years of treatment. The cumulative incidence of second-eye involvement was assessed.
Method: We analyzed data from the Fight Retinal Blindness! project database, a prospectively designed registry of "real-world" outcomes from Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Singapore.
