“Unlocking Geographic Atrophy,” published as the cover story in the August issue of Ophthalmology Times features Lejla Vajzovic MD, FASRS sharing her expertise about recent advancements in geographic atrophy (GA) research, practical clinical information and biomarkers to identify each stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Understanding each stage of AMD along with diligent screening using multimodal imaging for early detection of GA in eyes with intermediate AMD can determine appropriate treatment strategies to better control disease and retain central vision.
Vajzovic is a retinal specialist and vitreoretinal surgeon. She serves as the principal investigator on many AMD related studies, including gene therapy multisite trials that may become promising treatments for AMD.
