Abstract

Non-exudative, age-related macular degeneration, which accounts for 85 percent of AMD cases, includes a spectrum of macular pathology. In its most mild form, the macula possesses few Drusen or retinal pigmentary epithelial (RPE) change with no visual disability. At the other end of this spectrum, the macula is affected by large areas of RPE atrophy, with devastating loss of central vision.
