• 1

  An 87-year-old male with advanced dry AMD and bilateral geographic atrophy was treated with an intravitreal complement inhibitor.

• 2

  Early intervention maintained the patient's visual acuity and independence, allowing him to continue driving and caregiving.

• 3

  The complement inhibitor treatment slowed the growth of geographic atrophy lesions by approximately 20% to 30% over time.

• 4

  Flexible dosing intervals of 6 to 8 weeks facilitated adherence to treatment while balancing efficacy and patient burden.

• 5

  This case highlights the importance of early bilateral therapy in managing geographic atrophy and preserving quality of life.
