TL;DR: A doubling of the visual angle of presenting VA may be expected to occur in the year after initial presentation in eyes with untreated neovascular AMD, and the diversity of reporting formats, paucity of long-term natural history data, and heterogeneity among the reported clinical studies impose limits to the clear understanding ofLong-term prognosis for visual function in neov vascular AMD.

TL;DR: Analysis of analyses of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire indicates that a 14% change in the FIQ total score is clinically relevant, and results of these analyses should enhance the clinical utility of the FIZ in research and practice.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study of 401 patients with bilateral neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NV-AMD) and 471 elderly control subjects without AMD was conducted in 5 countries.

TL;DR: The evidence of extensive decline in quality of life and increased need of daily living assistance for patients with NV-AMD compared with a control population substantiates the need for new treatments that prevent vision loss and progression to blindness.
