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.
