Geographic atrophy: pathophysiology and current therapeutic strategies
Geographic atrophy (GA) is an advanced stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that leads to gradual and permanent vision loss. GA is characterized by the loss of photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), leading to distinct ...

Geographic atrophy of the macula
Geographic atrophy of the macula is a late form of dry AMD. Changes found on optical coherence tomography imaging (OCT) include Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) atrophic changes and window defects, with a pronounced photorecetor layer damage.
