COVID-19 recommendations

Although we are learning to live with the residual impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare services around the world continue to be differentially affected by variable infection pressures. As a result, guidance on continuing to treat patients safely in these challenging circumstances remains relevant.

The Vision Academy, in conjunction with the nAMD Barometer, has developed a variety of materials to support ophthalmologists in making appropriate treatment decisions in the COVID-19 era. These include two publications, two Letters to the Editor, a Viewpoint, an educational slide deck, a communication to healthcare professionals, customizable template letters to patients, and a range of infographics. All materials aim to provide detailed guidance according to different levels of epidemic pressure and many are available in multiple languages, downloadable from the
