The effect of a brief, unplanned treatment delay on neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients: a retrospective cohort study.

Non-compliance to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy can result in increased disease activity in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Our study aims to determine effects of unplanned delay in anti-VEGF injection treatment for nAMD. This retrospective observational study included patients with delays in receiving intravitreal injections for nAMD treatment from March to May 2020 by at least 21 days.
