In the right eyes of 3212 participants free of advanced AMD in both eyes at baseline. Cells that cannot, by definition, have entries are blank.

Numbers given for NeoAMD and CGA represent eyes with this outcome only; where the total exceeds the sum of NeoAMD + CGA, the difference represents eyes that were graded as both NeoAMD and CGA, usually at different visits.
