According to the source, Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) can be defined as having vision threatening or non-vision threatening AMD. Vision-threatening AMD refers to late or advanced stages of the disease, including geographic atrophy and/or exudative AMD in either eye. Non-vision threatening AMD, or early stage AMD, includes retinal pigment epithelium abnormalities or drusen ≥125 µm in the worse-affected eye, but no vision threatening AMD in either eye.
