Progression of age-related macular degeneration after cataract surgery.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To document age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression after cataract surgery. METHODS: Surgeons prospectively enrolled patients with nonneovascular AMD who were awaiting cataract surgery. Fluorescein angiography was performed ... Read more...

Reticular macular disease.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To present a unified description of reticular macular disease (RMD), a common clinical entity that includes reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) and confers high-risk of progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration. DESIGN: ... Read more...
