Advocated today in DC at Congressional Briefing for #agerelatedmaculardegeneration funding to NIH & NEI. Thanks to NAEVR/AVER & AMDF for inviting @brightfocus.bsky.social to give a private funder’s perspective. Only by working together can we keep the research pipeline moving to make AMD history.

Indocyanine green angiography and machine learning analysis determine topographic distribution of peripheral hard drusen in a Chinese cohort - Communications Medicine
Pu et al. use machine learning to quantify peripheral hard drusen across nine retinal quadrants in 1,562 normal eyes using indocyanine green angiography. Nasal quadrants show earlier and greater drusen accumulation, and central superior drusen count independently predicts progression to neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
