Abstract
PURPOSE. To determine the microperimetric retinal sensitivity in areas with nascent geographic atrophy (nGA) compared with other pathological features in eyes with intermediate AMD.METHODS. Participants with bilateral intermediate AMD underwent microperimetry examinations and high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans in a prospective study. Twenty-two participants (24 eyes) identified as having a microperimetric stimulus sampling an atrophic area (nGA or drusen-associated atrophy detected on SD-OCT) in an eye were analyzed, using three neighboring nonatrophic regions (with or without AMDassociated features) in the same eye as reference areas.RESULTS. On aver..
