Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in the developed world. Any patient who exhibits signs and symptoms consistent with exudative AMD undergoes a thorough dilated fundus exam, stereo color fundus photography, and rapid sequence fluorescein angiography (RSFA). The treatment options for ARM and nonexudative AMD are limited; therefore, prevention of disease progression is viewed as critical.
