Nguyen V, et al. – The clinical and social characteristics related to low presenting visual acuity (VA) in neovascular age–related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients are evaluated in this study. Poor presenting vision is detrimental to the long–term outcomes of nAMD. Poor presentation of nAMD in Australia may not be identified with socio–economic circumstances, but because of systems of care. Further research is warranted to ascertain why patients at public practices present with worse vision compared with private practices in Australia.
