Activity Description
This group of retinal disease experts came together to establish a set of best practices for caring for patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and geographic atrophy (GA), especially for optometrists who do not specialize in retinal disease. To guide the conversation, the group answered a set of survey questions prior to the panel discussion. The results of the survey are discussed throughout this paper. The individual approaches to patient care are similar but there are some strategic differences that align with specific practice settings, patient populations and years of experience.
