Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - SS-OCT imaging

Cohort 1 'IMPACT Cohort' - Subjects with intermediate AMD in both eyes, and at least one eye with a drusen volume in the central 3 mm circle centered on the fovea of at least 0.02mm3 in the absence of GA or nGA as diagnosed with OCT en face imaging OR subjects with AMD (early or intermediate) diagnosed in one eye and exudative AMD diagnosed in the fellow eye will undergo SS-OCT imaging every 3 months for 2 years

Cohort 2 'SWAGGER Cohort' - Subjects with GA or nGA secondary to AMD that is at least the size of a large druse (125 microns in diameter; 0.05 mm2) and no greater than 7 disc areas (17 mm2) in at least one eye will undergo SS-OCT imaging every 3 months for 2 years

Cohort 3 - Subjects with GA enrolled in another trial


Treatment: Devices: SS-OCT imaging
All subjects will undergo retinal imaging using the Zeiss PlexElite SS-OCT, a non-contact, non-invasive ocular imaging instrument
