Pseudodrusen are subretinal deposits associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), often linked to the development of geographic atrophy (GA). Extensive Macular Atrophy with Pseudodrusen (EMAP) describes severe GA in the presence of pseudodrusen, characterized by widespread retinal atrophy and significant visual impairment. Identifying pseudodrusen and monitoring GA progression are crucial for managing patients with non-neovascular AMD and EMAP.

Geographic atrophy (GA) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is marked by the loss of retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors. On OCT en face imaging, GA areas are often associated with choroidal hyper-transmission signals, indicating increased light penetration through the atrophied regions. This imaging feature helps in identifying and delineating GA progression in AMD patients.

Drusen regression in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can precede the emergence of geographic atrophy (GA). As drusen, which are lipid deposits beneath the retina, decrease in size or number, there may be increased exposure of underlying retinal tissue to damage, potentially accelerating GA development.

Geographic atrophy (GA) evolves over time, showing increasing areas of hypoautofluorescence on fundus autofluorescence due to photoreceptor and RPE cell loss. This progression can be quantified and monitored, helping to evaluate the effectiveness of potential treatments and understanding disease dynamics.

Geographic atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration characterized by the progressive loss of retinal cells. On fundus autofluorescence, GA areas typically appear as well-defined zones of decreased autofluorescence, reflecting the loss of photoreceptors and RPE cells. The use of green light can enhance contrast in these areas, aiding in clearer delineation.
