Abstract

PURPOSE: To compare the impact of pro re nata and treat-and-extend regimens on quality of life in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 81 patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who completed the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25.
RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were observed between pro re nata and treat-and-extend regimens across quality-of-life domains measured by National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25.
CONCLUSIONS: Pro re nata and treat-and-extend regimens demonstrated comparable effects on quality of life in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Further studies are warranted to determine optimal standardized treatment strategies.
