*

In the right eyes of 3212 participants free of advanced AMD in both eyes at baseline.

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.
