Geographi Atrophy- Early Intervention

📍“The tissue is the issue.” Dr. Deepak Sambhara discusses why early diagnosis of geographic atrophy (GA) is critical and why visual acuity alone won’t cut it. 💡 Did you know? 🕑 Once #GA is diagnosed, foveal involvement can occur in just 2.5 years. 📉 Vision loss often starts before the fovea is involved. 🧬 Not all GA is created equal multifocal and non-subfoveal lesions progress faster. 🖥️ OCT clues like hyporeflective foci and drusen with cores matter. 💉 And yes we finally have FDA-approved treatment options like #izervay and #syfovre 📈 The earlier the intervention, the greater the impact.
