| Abstract |
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of central vision loss worldwide. The progression of dry AMD from early to intermediate stages is primarily characterized by increasing drusen formation and adverse impact on outer retinal cells. Late stage AMD consists of either geographic atrophy (GA), the non-exudative (dry) AMD subtype, or choroidal neovascularization, the exudative (wet) AMD subtype. GA is characterized by outer retinal and choroidal atrophy, specifically the photoreceptor layer, RPE, and choriocapillaris. Much remains to be discovered regarding the pathogenesis of AMD progression and subsequent development of GA. As the functionality of all three layers is closely linked, the temporal sequence of events that end up in atrophy is important in the understanding of the pathogenic pathway of the disease. The advent of OCTA, and particularly of swept-source technology, has allowed for depth-resolved imaging of retinal vasculature and the choriocapillaris. With the use of OCTA, recent studies demonstrate that choriocapillaris flow alterations are closely associated with the development and progression of AMD. Such changes may even possibly offer predictive value in determining progression of GA. This article reviews studies demonstrating choriocapillaris changes in dry AMD and summarizes the existing literature on the potential role of the choriocapillaris as a key factor in the pathogenesis of AMD. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 November 2018.
All research outputs
#20,533,292
of 23,103,436 outputs
Outputs from Eye and Vision
#121
of 243 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#294,089
of 337,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Eye and Vision
#7
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,436 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 243 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 337,900 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
