Neovascular AMD can lead to severe complications that have a significant impact on short- and long-term visual outcomes. This article focuses on reviewing these complications, highlighting their distinctive signs or symptoms, and discussing the current evidence of treatment.
Background: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) represents a leading cause of vision loss in older subjects. The introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has enormously improved the visual prognosis in these patients. Summary: However, severe complications may still occur in this disease and their development may significantly affect short- and long-term visual outcomes. Key Messages: In this article, we provided a review of these complications, highlighting their distinctive signs or symptoms and focusing on the current evidence of treatment. To place the complications related to neovascular AMD in a proper context, this review deals with core components essential for proper comprehension of neovascular AMD that includes pathogenesis, clinical signs, and basic principles of treatment.
