Webinar: Geographic atrophy in AMD: diagnosis, imaging and disease progression
This in-depth webinar on Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) will focus on the classification of AMD and the diagnostic criteria for geographic atrophy (GA). The session will cover the use of multimodal imaging techniques in diagnosing GA, as well as insights into GA disease progression and its associated burden. Enhance your understanding of GA and improve your clinical practice with expert guidance and the latest research findings.
Learning outcomes
- Practitioners will recognise the role of OCT in the examination and management of AMD within their clinical practice
- Practitioners will identify how to use an evidence-based approach for assessing and managing geographic atrophy within a primary care setting.
