Results Of The Treatment Of Patients With Exudative Amd During The Covid -19 Pandemic

CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that patients with neovascular AMD have had a statistically significant decrease in VA due to the lockdown. A VA of almost 58 letters was reduced to 53 at six months after the lockdown. The percentage of patients who lost 15 or more letters doubled. We observed a 63.3% loss of temporary follow-up during the lockdown and a 14.58% loss of permanent follow-up at six months after the lockdown.PMID:34876774 | PMC:PMC8639395 | DOI:10.1016/j.oftal.2021.02.012
