Is geographic atrophy having a moment? Geographic atrophy or GA happens at the end stage of AMD. Advancements have been made with regard to treating other aspects of late-stage AMD, but GA hasn’t received as much attention, until now. In an Ophthalmology Times article, Dr. Sruthi Arepalli outlines novel therapies in the pipeline, specifically to treat GA. More real-world clinical data are needed on these therapies, but this could be positive news for patients with late-stage AMD. SING IMT™️ continues to be the only surgical solution CE marked and immediately available supporting late-stage AMD patients to regain back their vision.
