Age-related macular degeneration: from neovascular to atrophic
Ann Ophthalmol.
1989 Nov.
Abstract
A 72-year-old man with age-related neovascular macular degeneration and recurrent episodes of macular subretinal exudation showed a spontaneous change to geographic atrophy of the macula over a period of six years. The evolution of the macular changes from exudative to atrophic illustrates the difficulty of the retrospective classification of age-related macular degeneration.
