In this video, Barbara Blodi, MD, discusses long-term data on geographic atrophy growth rates in treatment-naive patients with age-related macular degeneration.
Daniel Muth, MD, of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, presented data at the ASRS annual meeting on growth rates of geographic atrophy (GA) in 75 treatment-naive patients with AMD.
Using semiautomated AI-based processes, the researchers found that bilaterally affected fovea-sparing patients showed faster rates of GA growth, with a 15% risk of developing foveal involvement over time.
“This is very valuable data, that we
