In addition, it could be considered that some patients are overtreated with a fixed monthly treatment regimen.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As an alternative, some studies reported modification of said regimen utilizing the so-called on-demand strategy or PRN which carries out retreatments only on the basis of OCT parameters or diminished VA. This strategy is more individualized but its disadvantage is that it requires strict monthly follow-up visits to minimize vision impairment with each reactivation of the disease. Accordingly, even though the number of injections can be diminished in some cases, it is necessary to maintain the number of follow-up visits, making this regimen a highly expensive and difficult to apply approach in hospitals with high workloads.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> In addition, the results provided in the IVAN,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> CATT<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> and HARBOR<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> studies demonstrated that the functional and anatomical efficacy of PRN regimes did not reach the efficacy achieved by the monthly administration regimes.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The appearance of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">treat and extend</span> regimen provides an alternative to treat patients with neovascular AMD without waiting for a relapse, progressively increasing intervals between visits.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11,14</span></a> This enables a workload reduction and avoids patient overtreatment.

If the VA loss occurs in the month prior to treatment, VA recovery is better (70% method 1) than in cases in which the VA loss occurs over one month after the last retreatment (43% method 2). This confirms the results of the SUSTAIN study<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> which observed that, with a smaller interval between VA losses and treatment, VA recovery is larger.
