This is a longitudinal observational study that will look at 300 subjects, 200 with intermediate AMD in at least one eye, or with AMD in one eye, either early or intermediate, and with late AMD (exudative) in the other eye, and 100 subjects with nGA or GA in at least one eye.
The target population is all subjects who are at least 50 years of age and have a clinical diagnosis of non-exudative AMD in at least one eye.
Subjects who convert to exudative AMD during the study will be treated as per the enrolling physician’s standard of care and will continue to be scanned per protocol, allowing for a wider interval of +/- 30 days around the standard timing of scanning to avoid excessively frequent visits.
