Association Between Systemic Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Optical Coherence Tomography Biomarkers in a Non-Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Cohort
This novel study shows that lower systemic VEGF levels were associated with SHRM and RP, which was shown to correspond to an intermediate stage of the atrophic process in age-related macular degeneration. Systemic VEGF could be a useful biomarker and therapeutic target for eyes with cRORA. <b>[<i>Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina</i> 2025;56:23-29.]</b>.
