Overview

May prompt adherence support in DME; leaves open prospective trials on vision outcomes.

Structured PICO

Is non-adherence to treatment associated with visual acuity loss in patients with AMD, DME, and BRVO?

P
Population
Patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), and Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO)
I
Intervention
Non-adherence (NA) to treatment and follow-up regimens
O
Outcome
Real-life visual acuity (VA) outcomes and significant VA loss

Non-adherence to treatment regimens is a significant risk factor for visual acuity loss, especially in patients with diabetic macular edema.
