A Population-Based Ultra-Widefield Digital Image Grading Study for Age-Related Macular Degeneration–Like Lesions at the Peripheral Retina

Abstract

Phenotyping the retinal periphery using the categories defined by the International Classification confirmed the presence of wide-ranging AMD-like pathologic changes even in those without central sight-threatening macular disease. Based on our observations, we propose here new, reliably identifiable grading categories that may be more suited for population-based UWFI.
