In this study, ocular discomfort following intravitreal injection in naïve patients will be studied, as well as the efficacy of wetting agent (Optive eyewash) to prevent ocular discomfort.
In naive patients, the two first intravitreal injections will be studied. Within the first injection, no wetting agent will be delivered. Within 72hours after this first intravitreal injections, patients will be contacted by phone by a nurse to complete questionnaires on quality of life and on ocular pain and eye discomfort. After the second injection, a treatment with wetting agent will be prescribed. With 72hours after the second injection, quality of life, ocular discomfort as well as acceptability and tolerance of the eye drops will also be assessed by a phone questionnaire.
