What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual acuity

    A typical ETDRS chart that if frequently used for visual acuity testing

    Measured: 60 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Drusen density and shape

    Drusen Measurement on OCT or Fundus photography

    Measured: 60 months

  2. The rate of 5-year progression

    The evaluation criteria for progression: progress to intermediate (only for patients with early phase AMD at baseline) or intermediate-to-late, or late stage AMD.

    Measured: 60 months

  3. GA growth rate

    Measured: 60 months
