Abstract

Chroma and Spectri provide a unique data set of functional end points in GA that are relevant for future clinical trials. Patients with bilateral GA experienced a consistent decline in visual function over 48 weeks, but measures of visual function were not correlated strongly with GA lesion area. It is not possible to predict visual function outcomes from GA lesion size.
