I study how to schedule follow-up visits for patients receiving treatment for geographic atrophy (GA), an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration. At each visit, the return interval affects the timing of the next examination and, if appropriate, the next dose. This makes scheduling a sequence of decisions rather than a fixed calendar choice.
Our work examines how the location of remaining retinal tissue, treatment history, treatment-associated neovascular risk, and visit burden may change the value of returning sooner or later. I am developing a decision model to make these trade-offs explicit and to study how the preferred interval may change as information arrives. The linked slides give a public overview of the clinical setting and research question.
