NCT07653269

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new screening procedure for the early detection and monitoring of AMD in community settings and community hospital settings, to identify associated risk factors, and develop personalized monitoring strategies for at-risk individuals throughout the 5 years follow up period, which will allow us to establish prevalence, natural history of progression of early AMD in the community.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To establish the natural history of AMD in Asian elderly and to identify clinical multimodal imaging, genetic, and metabolomic predictors of progression.

    Progression is defined as the change from early signs of AMD to advanced AMD.
