[Clinical parameters of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration : Longterm treatment results of an outpatient clinic].
CONCLUSION: Despite intensive PRN therapy, visual acuity slowly decreased over time. The mean number of injections was comparable to that of prospective studies. The low number of injections in treatment-year 1 may have been due to a lack of experience with the new treatment agents. The slow decrease in visual acuity in clinical routine as opposed to clinical studies may be attributed to a delay between occurrence of disease activity and treatment.
