Table 2 shows the prevalence of AMD features on en face and multimodal grading (non-weighted) (eye level). The all category is restricted to those over 55 years to enable comparison with other studies who restrict definition of AMD to this age category.

AMD, age-related macular degeneration; CNV, choroidal neovascular membrane; cRORA, complete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy; GA, geographic atrophy; OCT, optical coherence tomography; SDD, subretinal drusenoid deposit.
