Abstract
The results indicate that the choroid in eyes with GA is thinner compared to normal eyes of similar age. Hereby, the extent of thinning is most pronounced in a specific subtype of GA identified by FAF imaging ("diffuse trickling"). Such GA subtype-related differences in choroidal thickness may reflect heterogeneity in the pathogenesis of disease. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02051998.).
