Keeping Patients at the Center of GA Therapy: Patient Education and Setting Expectations
How do you educate and empower patients to make informed decisions about geographic atrophy (GA) therapy? In episode 2 of this New Retina Radio miniseries, moderator John Kitchens, MD guides Ferhina Ali, MD, MPH; Margaret Chang, MD, MS; and David Eichenbaum, MD, through practical strategies for patient education. The panel covers plain-language analogies for GA, using OCT and fundus photos, coordinating with optometry, and setting realistic expectations for FDA-approved treatments. They also tackle real-world barriers—visit burden, transportation, and costs—sharing tips on benefits investigations, manufacturer portals, and charity-care pathways.This content is editorially independent, supported by Astellas Pharma.
