n age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy (GA), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and near-infrared (NIR) reflectance imaging provide complementary insights. FAF reveals hypoautofluorescence in areas of RPE loss, with hyperautofluorescent borders indicating regions at risk for progression. NIR reflectance highlights the atrophic zones with high contrast, providing detailed visualization of choroidal and structural changes. These imaging techniques are essential for monitoring GA progression.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy (GA), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and near-infrared reflectance (NIR) imaging are essential tools. FAF highlights hypoautofluorescent areas corresponding to RPE loss and hyperautofluorescent borders indicating regions at risk for progression. NIR provides high-contrast imaging of atrophic regions and choroidal changes, complementing FAF for monitoring GA progression.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is used to assess the extent of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) loss. Areas of atrophy appear as hypoautofluorescent zones due to the absence of RPE, while hyperautofluorescent borders may indicate regions at risk for progression. FAF is essential for monitoring disease advancement and assessing the risk of further vision loss.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), clinical findings includes confluent soft drusen, pigment migration, and RPE atrophy. Confluent soft drusen are large, yellowish deposits under the RPE, indicating a higher risk of progression. Pigment migration occurs as RPE cells move irregularly, and RPE atrophy presents as areas of cell loss, all contributing to gradual vision loss.

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.
