Electronic medical notes were reviewed to evaluate the outcome measures. Outcome measures included progression of visual acuity (VA), central retinal thickness (CRT) and treatment frequency.Results: 95 eyes from 86 patients had complete data for 8 years of follow-up. Baseline median CRT was 295μm [IQR 254–349] and improved to 209μm [IQR 182–254] in year 8 (p<0.001); baseline median VA was 61 ETDRS letters which increased to 70 letters post-loading however was reduced to 55 letters by year 8 (mean VA change from baseline was −9.1 letters); 47.4% had stable or improved vision, 10.5% gained ≥15 letters and 33.7% had lost ≥15 letters. The highest visual gain was achieved after the initial loading-phase, with a subsequent steady decline, 26.3% (compared to baseline 33.4%) achieved driving vision standard. Median injection frequency was 6 (range 3–10) in year 1 and 3 injections (range 0–10) in year 8. 51.6% of eyes required at least one injection each year and only 34.7% required no injections in year 8.Conclusion: Our real-world nAMD treatment cohort using Ranibizumab PRN regimen achieved an encouraging almost 50% stable or improved VA at year 8 and total injections of 31.6 injections per patient over an 8-year period.Keywords: age-related macular degeneration, Ranibizumab, real-world, 8 yearHorner FLip PLClark HChavan RSarmad AMushtaq BDove Medical Pressarticleage-related macular degenerationranibizumabreal-world8 yearOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2461-2467 (2019)
