The Right GA Patient?

When it comes to geographic atrophy #GA, the right time to treat may be before patients notice symptoms. In this discussion from Geographic Atrophy: A New Approach to a Historically Untreatable Disease, Dr. Priya Vakharia highlights an important shift in thinking: waiting for symptoms may mean waiting too long. Instead, earlier intervention, particularly in patients with progressive, extrafoveal GA may help preserve retinal tissue and slow the disease process. While visual benefit data continues to evolve, the goal remains clear: protect as much retinal structure as possible for as long as possible.
