Non Exudative AMD Imaged With SS-OCT

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Dry Macular Degeneration

In brief

The investigators wish to better understand the role of the choriocapillaris (CC) in the formation and progression of non-exudative in age related macular degeneration (armd) by imaging the retinal pigment epithelium (rpe) and the choroidal microvasculature and by studying their inter-dependence to determine if the loss of the CC could prove useful as an anatomic clinical trial endpoint in future drug trials.

You may not qualify if…

• A subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:
• Below the age of 50
• Subjects with exudative AMD in both eyes
• Eyes with evidence of non-proliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
