Adequate documentation of potential risks for hemorrhage (particularly prior hemorrhage or presence of subclinical type 1 CNVM), as well as COVID-19-specific risk factors, would aid triage of clinic appointments in future lockdowns. High-risk patients would likely benefit from direct physician communication discussing their individual risk profiles to alleviate anxiety over clinic visits and communicate their risk of severe vision loss.
