About this trial

This study is being conducted to assess two imaging methods-central microperimetry and radial OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)-in patients with Geographic Atrophy (GA) or those who are at risk of developing this condition. The study team is trying to determine whether these methods can provide more accurate measurements of GA progression toward the foveal center, the central part of the retina responsible for your sharpest, most detailed vision.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Subjects must be 55+ years of age Subjects in the "Intermediate AMD Observation Arm" must have intermediate age-related macular degeneration in one eye

Disqualifiers

Subjects with central involvement of GA. Central involvement is defined as geographic atrophy involving the foveal center point.

Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy involving 10 or more hemorrhages or microaneurysms, or active proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Branch or central retinal vein or artery occlusion

Macular hole
