Age-related macular degeneration

Monika Fleckenstein et al.

Summary: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of legal blindness in the industrialized world, with a complex pathophysiology involving aging, environmental factors, and genetic susceptibility leading to photoreceptor degeneration and drusen formation. Tailoring therapeutics to specific phenotypes and stages may be crucial for preventing irreversible vision loss in the future.

Analysis of correlations between local geographic atrophy growth rates and local OCT angiography-measured choriocapillaris flow deficits

Eric M. Moult et al.

Summary: This study quantitatively assessed correlations between local geographic atrophy (GA) growth rates and choriocapillaris (CC) flow deficits measured by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The results showed modest positive correlations between GA growth rates and CC flow deficits, indicating the potential for evaluating other imaging biomarkers of GA growth rates using this framework.

Growth Modeling for Quantitative, Spatially Resolved Geographic Atrophy Lesion Kinetics

Eric M. Moult et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the applicability of a growth modeling framework for quantifying spatial variations in geographic atrophy (GA) lesion kinetics. The results showed that average GA growth rates exhibited specific dependencies on eccentricity, growth angle, and margin angle, providing insights into the spatial variations of GA growth rates. This proposed growth modeling framework may enable more accurate measurements of spatial variations in GA growth rates.

Swept-Source OCT Angiographic Characteristics of Treatment-Naive Nonexudative Macular Neovascularization in AMD Prior to Exudation

Mengxi Shen et al.

Summary: The characteristics of treatment-naive nonexudative macular neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration before the onset of exudation were investigated using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography. The onset of exudation was correlated with less vascularity and smaller pigment epithelial detachment volume, while no significant differences were observed in macular neovascularization area, choriocapillaris flow deficits, mean choroidal thickness, or choroid vascularity index measurements. More investigations are needed to explore these and other anatomical changes as predictors of near-term exudation.
