The authors are commenting on the study entitled “The evolution of fibrosis and atrophy and their relationship with visual outcomes in Asian persons with neovascular age-related macular degeneration” published by Cheung et al. in Ophthalmology Retina; 2019; 3 (12):4045-4055 Published online June 11, 2019. The validation, extrapolation, and generalizability of the 12-month visual outcomes of this study can be made only by statistical analyses including all the missing baseline potential predictors referred to above by us in addition to the baseline characteristics already assessed in this study, which serve as putative biomarkers predicting the occurrence and progression of fibrosis and macular atrophy in Asian persons with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
