Ist die exsudative neovaskul äre AMD eine chronische Erkrankung? Analyse von Langzeitverläufen unter einer Anti-VEGF-Therapie

CONCLUSION: The fact, that in the present study a long-term and intensive need for therapy was again in the majority of patients (approx. 80%) with exudative nAMD observed, supports the assessment that nAMD should be regarded as a chronic disease. Therefore, a proactive treatment strategy with consistent therapy at any sign of lesion activity might be recommended. Particularly in view of the risk of irreversible loss of vision, long term adherence of patients is also crucial for the best possible long term therapeutic outcome.PMID:38181813 | DOI:10.1055/a-2239-6394
