Geographic Atrophy

Geographic Atrophy counseling is never simple. Dr. Priya Vakharia shares three clinical pearls she uses with every #GA patient: • Be honest about progression — GA spreads quietly, and “today’s vision may be the best it will be.” • Discuss that treatment exists — the goal isn’t to push therapy, but to make sure patients understand their options. • Reframe the goal — we’re not restoring vision; we’re preserving retinal structure for as long as possible. Clear, early conversations help patients feel informed, supported, and part of the plan. This editorially independent content was made possible with support from Astellas
