New study aims to keep macular disease patients on track with eye injections

This study tests whether a personalized care approach helps patients with chronic macular diseases (like wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema) attend their regular eye injection appointments. Many patients skip these vital treatments, risking further vision loss. The study will enroll 200 participants at the Singapore National Eye Centre, randomly assigning some to receive a tailored plan involving consultations with nurses, optometrists, and social workers, while others receive standard care. The goal is to see if the personalized plan improves adherence to treatment.
