Geographic Atrophy

For years, geographic atrophy meant monitoring and waiting. Now, that’s changed. Dr. Maryam Ghiassi explains how GA treatments like IZERVAY™ (avacincaptad pegol intravitreal solution), a complement C5 inhibitor, help slow the progression of geographic atrophy secondary to AMD. These medications don’t restore lost vision. They don’t reverse damage. But they can slow lesion growth by approximately 17–22% over 24 months, like putting your foot on the brake in a disease that otherwise keeps moving forward. In a cumulative condition like #GA, slowing progression can mean more time with reading vision, facial recognition, and independence.
