Age (years) specific percentage prevalence (95% CI) of binocular visual impairment caused by AMD, and presence of GAMD and NVAMD in either eye
| Age range | Total study number | PS | PS/B | B | Total study number | GAMD | NVAMD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS = partial sighted, best VA 6/18, >6/60, caused by AMD. PS/B = partial/blind, best VA 6/60, 3/60. B = blind, best VA <3/60. GAMD = geographical/dry/atrophic/non-exudative/late AMD in at least one eye, NVAMD = neovascular/exudative/wet AMD in at least one eye. Binomial exact 95% CI given in parenthesis. | |||||||
