New study aims to keep macular disease patients on track with eye injections
NCT ID NCT07567898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with chronic macula disease including those diagnosed with nAMD and DME, who require IVT. * This would include treatment naive patients (no IVT in either eye the last 6 months) and previously treated patients who have had IVT in either eye in the last 6 months and require further IVT treatment at the baseline study visit in either eye. * Able to provide informed consent and must consent to undergoing the MPI intervention. * Speak English or Mandarin. * Must be a Singapore resident. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are unwilling or unable to perform CAT testing. * Unable to provide informed consent. * Significant eye pathology such as cornea problems, glaucoma, or other retinal diseases that may substantially affect vision. * Do not speak English or Mandarin fluently. * Cognitive impairment (as assessed using 6CIT). * Obvious observable physical or hearing disabilities that prevents them from completing the CAT questionnaire and undergoing MPI effectively.
