KOLOA, Hawaii — Nascent geographic atrophy may be a reliable indicator for progression to geographic atrophy, which could help with age-related macular degeneration interventions when detected early through OCT.
At Retina 2023, Robyn Guymer, MD, said that signs of geographic atrophy (GA) can be found earlier when using OCT compared with color fundus imaging and fundus autofluorescence.
“We wanted to find out what the signs were on the OCT that preceded the development of atrophy,” Guymer said.
To investigate the efficacy of detecting early GA biomarkers on OCT, Guymer and
