N2 - Geographic atrophy (GA) represents the atrophic late-stage manifestation of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is characterised by the development of atrophic patches that may initially occur in the parafoveal area [3, 13, 16, 23]. During the natural course of the disease, atrophy slowly enlarges over time, and the fovea itself is typically not involved until later (foveal sparing, see Fig 12.3).
