Identifying early symptoms of choroidal neovascularisation in second eyes of patients with unilateral wet age related macular degeneration using a telephone evaluation method.

We were unable to demonstrate a high sensitivity for the five-staged tool but the near acuity component of this tool had a very high specificity. This could have potential for "ruling out" nAMD and reducing the burden of false positive episodes for a large group of patients who are at risk of developing nAMD in their second eyes.
