Geographic Atrophy Progression, Explained by Anat Loewenstein

Anat Loewenstein, Professor of Ophthalmology at Tel Aviv University, discusses geographic atrophy (GA), a degenerative disease primarily caused by aging, genetics, and other factors. While autofluorescence has been instrumental in studying progression, recent advancements highlight the importance of OCT factors, such as photoreceptors and genetic biomarkers which are now providing more insights into GA. The shift toward OCT imaging as a diagnostic tool for geographic atrophy is further enhancing our understanding of the disease.
