Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the main cause of visual loss in the elderly population. With the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, the visual outcomes of exudative AMD patients have been improved. This study was aimed at assessing the quality of life (QoL) of exudative AMD patients treated with ranibizumab and at determining its drivers in a real-life setting.
