To maintain treatment quality and patient and staff safety in the SARS-CoV-2 era, it is important to minimize clinic visits and maximize the use of imaging modalities. In addition, extending treatment intervals with longer-acting agents is key to maximizing safety and patients’ vision outcomes.
Panelists discuss how they manage patients requiring both wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and geographic atrophy (GA) treatments by administering injections on separate days rather than on the same day to avoid workflow disruption, address the increased intraocular pressure from the larger 100-µL complement inhibitor dose by allowing patients time to acclimate in the chair with only a small percentage requiring pressure-relieving taps, and acknowledge that although this dual-therapy population represents a minority of their patients undergoing complement modulation, these experienced injection recipients are typically very accepting of additional treatments.
