Résumé
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) represents a leading cause of vision loss in older subjects. The introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has enormously improved the visual prognosis in these patients. However, severe complications may still occur in this disease and their development may significantly affect short- and long-term visual outcomes. Key Messages: In this article, we provided a review of these complications, highlighting their distinctive signs or symptoms and focusing on the current evidence of treatment. To place the complications related to neovascular AMD in a proper context, this review deals with core components essential for proper comprehension of neovascular AMD that includes pathogenesis, clinical signs, and basic principles of treatment.

SUMMARY
CONCLUSIONS
However, severe complications may still occur in this disease and their development may significantly affect short- and long-term visual outcomes. Key Messages: In this article, we provided a review of these complications, highlighting their distinctive signs or symptoms and focusing on the current evidence of treatment. To place the complications related to neovascular AMD in a proper context, this review deals with core components essential for proper comprehension of neovascular AMD that includes pathogenesis, clinical signs, and basic principles of treatment.
