Collateral Damage From the COVID-19 Pandemic Observed in Patients Treated With Intravitreal Injections (IVT) of Anti-angiogenic Agents (COVIDIV)

In patients treated for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes, retinal venous occlusion (OVR), or other conditions causing macular edema, treatments with anti-angiogenic intravitreal injections (IVT) are widely used both for their anti-angiogenic action. Patients often have injections for many years, sometimes monthly or every 2 months.

The discontinuation of treatment with repeated injections of anti-angiogenic agents, linked to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic will potentially impact the visual acuity, the ophthalmological state and the quality of life of the patients concerned, therefore it is relevant to analyze the consequences the breakdown of usual care in this population.
