Özet

Background: Geographic atrophy (GA) corresponds to an end-stage form of age-related macular degeneration and the leading cause of irreversible vision loss. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) patterns surrounding GA, baseline GA size, the presence of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD), the condition of the fellow eye and the presence of systemic vascular diseases (diabetes, atherosclerosis, systemic hypertension) on the progression of GA due to age-related macular degeneration.
