This course will provide an overview of Age-Related Macular Degeneration including epidemiology, pathophysiology, and risk factors. A detailed analysis of the various stages of AMD will be introduced and illustrated via case examples. The advanced stages of the disease will be emphasized highlighting the use of multimodal imaging including OCT, Fundus Autofluorescence, Color Fundus Photography and Near-Infrared Imaging. New treatment and management options for Geographic Atrophy will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
