First-ever treatments for GA offer hope in the battle against this relentlessly progressive retinal disease.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Identify conversion from intermediate dry AMD to GA on imaging
• Recognize patients who are likely to have a fast rate of GA lesion growth
• Describe the role of the complement system in GA pathophysiology, including the differences in the targets of available complement inhibitors
• Differentiate between available GA treatments based on their clinical profiles
• Demonstrate appropriate use of novel therapy for GA treatment, such as patient selection and timing of initiation
