Challenging the Assumption: Fellow-Eye Correlations in Geographic Atrophy Progression Prove Modest at Best

Highlights

The correlation in geographic atrophy (GA) enlargement rates between fellow eyes was only modest, with Pearson coefficients ranging from 0.11 to 0.51 depending on the transformation method used. GA lesion size substantially influenced the correlation strength, with larger lesions showing weaker correlations compared to smaller lesions. Researchers should exercise caution when designing trials or interpreting analyses that assume highly correlated GA progression between eyes.
