THE AUTHORS DESCRIBED THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW and enlargement of
preexisting atrophy confined to areas with abnormally high levels of in vivo autofluorescence
in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) associated with age-related macular degeneration
(ARMD). The spatial distribution and intensity of fundus autofluorescence as well as the
spread of GA and occurrence of new GA was recorded over a period of 3 years in three
