SAN DIEGO — Signs of early or late age-related macular degeneration were present in the vast majority of contralateral eyes of patients enrolled in the VIEW 1 and VIEW 2 studies, according to a poster presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting.Anat Loewenstein, MD, conducted a pooled post hoc analysis of medical history data for 2,412 VIEW 1 and VIEW 2 study participants, examining baseline best corrected visual acuity, drusen presence, pigment presence, evidence of choroidal neovascularization and lens status.“Patients’ perception of their visual function relies primarily on the visual acuity in the better-seeing eye,” Loewenstein wrote in the poster.
