NCT ID NCT02941263
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study followed 20 adults aged 55 and older with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration that causes central vision loss. Researchers measured how the damaged area in the eye changed over nearly 4 years using eye exams and photos. The goal was to better understand the natural course of the disease, not to test a treatment.
