Integration of Lesion-tailored, Fundus-controlled Perimetry Into Routine Clinical Care for Patients With Geographic Atrophy (GA) Receiving Pegcetacoplan Treatment in Accordance With the Approved Label.
University of Utah
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate changes in retinal sensitivity over time in patients with geographic atrophy due to age related macular degeneration who are receiving pegcetacoplan as part of routine clinical care. The study aims to determine whether lesion tailored fundus-controlled perimetry can reliably measure functional changes near areas of atrophy and whether this testing can be implemented in everyday clinic care over 24 months. Participants will undergo repeated vision testing, standard eye imaging, and visual function questionnaires while continuing their prescribed treatment.
Description
The study will prospectively recruit patients from the Retina Clinics at the John A. Moran Eye Center and its satellite clinics. All team members will be trained and certified for their specific tasks to ensure that uniform procedures are followed in order to obtain comparable and reliable data. The following study procedures will be performed after informed consent has been obtained (in chronologic order): * Assessment of past and current ophthalmic history, and demographic details * Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for both eyes measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E…
