This protocol covers late age-related macular degeneration in its dry form — specifically geographic atrophy occurring in the absence of neovascular AMD — where the patient has experienced measurably significant visual impairment.
The clinical scenario: late AMD (dry), including geographic atrophy, with neovascular AMD excluded, and visual acuity of 6/18 or worse. Diagnosis is established by slit-lamp biomicroscopic fundus examination.
Access the full structured protocol below for the complete evidence-based approach to managing this presentation.
