Table 1. Clinical characteristics of the eyes of the patients in the study
For the type of the most advanced AMD lesion, the lesions were graded in the order of increasing severity: drusen, geographic atrophy involving the fovea, and an acute exudative, or a disciform lesion. For bilateral involvement, the term late AMD, indicates the presence of geographic atrophy involving the fovea or an acute exudative or a disciform lesion.
