The VERA-AMD study is a prospective, observational study designed to evaluate clinical progression, prognostic factors, and quality of life in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study aims to analyze real-world clinical data to identify key predictors of disease progression and functional outcomes, with the goal of optimizing AMD management. The study involves 200 patients aged ≥50 with a confirmed diagnosis of AMD, monitored through routine clinical practice. Primary outcomes include progression rates to advanced AMD and changes in visual acuity, while secondary outcomes focus on retinal morphology and quality of life. Anti-VEGF therapy and AI-based fluid analysis will be integrated to explore their impact on disease progression and patient outcomes.
