  • Early: medium drusen. Intermediate: large drusen (> 125 µm) or pigment change. Advanced: GA or neovascular.
  • AREDS2 (vitamin C, E, zinc, copper, lutein, zeaxanthin) for intermediate AMD or advanced in one eye.
  • Neovascular AMD: anti-VEGF (aflibercept, ranibizumab, bevacizumab, faricimab); treat-and-extend.
  • GA: complement inhibitors (pegcetacoplan, avacincaptad pegol) slow growth.
