Study finds type 2 macular neovascularization decreases more significantly in size and volume over one year of treatment.

Beware Hypertransmission Defects of Any Size in Intermediate AMD

Eyes with high numbers of these findings appeared to be at a greater risk for progression.

Geographic Atrophy: Looking Beyond VA

A discussion on the many other markers of visual function and quality in these patients, as well as the options available to help them see better.

Study Observes Retinal Changes on OCT that Signal Progression in Early AMD

Identifying these subtle alterations in cell layers could allow for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Autoimmune Skin Condition Linked to AMD

Diabetic patients with psoriasis should be monitored for macular changes, study suggests.

Raster Scans More Successful at Finding Fellow-eye Neovascularization

OCT crosshair scans missed the diagnosis in 16% of cases when used alone and was more common in those with type 3 MNV.

Check the Hyporeflective Band to Differentiate AMD from Aging

Within the RPE basal lamina/Bruch’s membrane complex, the ETDRS inner ring was the most sensitive location to detect structural changes in both scenarios with prototype hi-res SD-OCT.
