What percentage of people with dry AMD will progress to geographic atrophy?

About 30 percent of people with dry AMD develop geographic atrophy (GA), which is the advanced stage of the condition.

Additionally, up to 19 percent of people diagnosed with early- or intermediate-stage dry AMD progress to geographic atrophy within two years of diagnosis.

It's important to remember that being diagnosed with early- or intermediate-stage dry AMD doesn't necessarily mean the disease will progress to GA. The progression varies from person to person, and dry AMD typically progresses slowly over years rather than quickly.
