TREATMENT DEFERRAL DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN: Functional and Anatomical Impact on Patients With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Conclusion:
An “injection-only” approach was effective in managing patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration during the pandemic lockdown, whereas patients who deferred their scheduled treatment showed partially irreversible deterioration of visual function. We recommend treatment continuation in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration during a lockdown.
