Parameters evaluated as signs for AMD, CNV, and CNV activity.
Color fundus photography
Fluorescein angiography
SDOCT
AMD
Presence of ≥10 small hard drusen and pigmentary changes or ≥1 intermediate or large drusen inside the 6 mm ETDRS grid
CNV
Fibrosis, fibrovascular tissue, or fibrin either subretinal or subRPE (not related to any other retinal vascular disease but CNV)
Classic or occult CNV or staining scar
Subretinal hyperreflective material or PED other than single drusen
CNV activity
Fluid or hemorrhage related to CNV
Classic or occult CNV leakage
