To investigate cytokine levels in the tear fluid of patients receiving serial intravitreal injections (IVI) with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Concentrations of six cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF and VEGF) in te...
