Choriocapillaris flow impairment could predict the enlargement of geographic atrophy lesion.

CONCLUSIONS: We reported a greater CC impairment in the area that subsequently developed GA expansion, suggesting that the CC flow impairment could predict the enlargement of GA lesion. The CC impairment could be considered as a new a risk factor for GA progression and a biomarker to be measured to determine efficacy of new interventions aiming to slow progression of GA.
