Abstract

Objectives: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of central vision loss in individuals aged 65 years and older in developed countries. Earlier imaging systems did not enable visualization of the peripheral retina in diseases affecting the macula. With the introduction of new-generation devices, the peripheral retina is easily visualized. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence of peripheral retinal changes in the color and autofluorescence fundus images of patients with AMD.
