Abstract

Objectives: To assess the association of structural biomarkers derived from optical coherence tomography (OCT) and choriocapillaris (CC) flow information with point-wise retinal sensitivity (PWS) measured by microperimetry (MP) in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD). Methods: Patients with iAMD received imaging with spectral-domain (SD)-OCT (Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering) and…
