Key PointsQuestionWhat are the imaging, genetic and demographic factors associated with conversion to neovascular age-related macular degeneration in patients undergoing treatment for late disease in 1 eye? FindingsIn this post hoc secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial of 686 fellow eyes with nonneovascular age-related macular degeneration, total en face area of drusen restricted to a circular area 3 mm from the fovea, mean drusen reflectivity, and 1 genetic variant (rs61941274, ACAD10 locus) were associated with conversion to neovascular age-related macular degeneration after controlling for demographic and treatment effects. MeaningDrusen characteristics restricted to a circular area 3 mm from the fovea and mean drusen reflectivity may help identify progression in age-related macular degeneration.
