Panelists discuss how they encourage hesitant colleagues to adopt geographic atrophy therapies by emphasizing the importance of staying current with clinical trial data, starting with highly motivated patients who mirror trial populations, and express excitement about the future of precision medicine through biomarker-guided treatment selection, advanced imaging with artificial intelligence integration, late-stage trials targeting vision as primary end points, and innovative approaches like gene therapy and cell therapy that may eventually restore vision.

Panelists discuss how they explain treatment success to patients with geographic atrophy by emphasizing that although the disease will continue to progress, clinical trial data show that the therapy slows the rate of growth by 20% to 30% on average, acknowledging that individual patient responses vary along a bell curve and that preserving retinal tissue is inherently meaningful for visual function even without immediate measurable vision improvements.
