Study: Patients with wet AMD would opt for high treatment burden to prevent worse visual acuity
Patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration were willing to opt for a higher treatment burden, which included regular intravitreal injections at short intervals and long periods of waiting, treatment and traveling, to prevent worsening of visual acuity, according to a study conducted in Germany. Two hundred eighty-four patients were included in the discrete choice experiment. All patients had wet AMD, had received at least one intravitreal injection and were at least 50 years old. Researchers conducted telephone interviews with the subjects.
