Geographic Atrophy (GA)

Geographic atrophy is an advanced form of dry AMD where parts of the retina waste away, causing progressive blind spots. The first FDA-approved treatment (pegcetacoplan) slows lesion growth.

📊 GA affects about 1 million Americans with AMD. It causes irreversible vision loss. Reading and driving often become impossible.
