To evaluate the incidence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) induced by intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents in cases of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). ⋯ Intravitreal injections of commonly used anti-VEGF intravitreal drugs rarely induce PVD in patients with neovascular AMD. Eyes with focal VMA have a greater chance to develop PVD than eyes with a broad area of VMA.
