Baseline fixation: n = 26; final fixation, n = 31.

Appears to be at (or near) the foveal center, generally surrounded by multifocal geographic atrophy.

In a spared region within the atrophy.

§

No fixation site was demonstrated.

The scotoma to the right of fixation.

The scotoma to the left of fixation.

The scotoma above (superior to) fixation in visual field space.
