摘要：Objective: To explore the vision-related quality of life ( VRQL) before and after the injection of antiangiogenic drug into the vitreous cavity of patients with wet age-related macular degeneration ( AMD) . Methods: The 2000 edition of the Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25 that was issued by the Na-tional Eye Institute was applied, and the VRQL evaluation was conducted on the initially diagnosed patients with wet-AMD before and after the injection of ranibizumab into the vitreous cavity. Results: Among the wet-AMD patients, patients with better distance visual acuity before the in-travitreal injection had a lower VFQ-25 score. After the vitreous cavity injection, the VFQ-25 questionnaire score was related to patient care and education from the doctors and nurses; specific-ally, the better the nursing, the higher the score. Conclusions: Before the vitreous cavity injection, the degree of distance visual acuity is an im-portant factor affecting the VRQL of wet-AMD patients. In addition, patient care and education from the doctors and nurses toward patients during the pre-, intra-and post-operation of the intrav-itreal injection are also important factors affecting the VRQL.
