Comparison of RPE and BLamD thicknesses by location in neovascular AMD and geographic atrophy eyes

# Metric −500 µm −100 µm P
1 RPE thickness
  Neovascular AMD 11.8 ± 6.0 12.8 ± 6.2 n.s.
  Geographic atrophy 12.1 ± 5.2 14.6 ± 6.9 0.039
2 BLamD thickness
  Neovascular AMD 3.7 ± 3.7 2.9 ± 3.2 n.s.
  Geographic atrophy 7.2 ± 6.1 8.4 ± 8.2 n.s.
3 RPE + BLamD thickness
  Neovascular AMD 15.7 ± 7.0 15.4 ± 7.7 n.s.
  Geographic atrophy 19.3 ± 8.2 23.1 ± 10.7 0.046

Notes: ±500, ±100, distances from ELM descent in µm, negative is non-atrophic, positive is atrophic;

Statistical evaluation: n.s., not significant at p< 0.05 level
