Perceived stress levels among patients treated for neovascular age-related macular degeneration with anti-VEGF injections
Our study highlighted factors potentially associated with increased perceived stress in nAMD patients undergoing anti-VEGF treatment. Self-reported visual function, in particular near-vision, and perceived social support are factors that can be addressed to reduce the levels of stress and risk of mental health disorders in this patient group.
