Presence of mild, moderate or severe NEAMD.
Media clarity, pupillary dilation, and subject cooperation sufficient for adequate fundus photographs.

A condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study (e.g. unstable medical status including blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and glycemic control).
A concurrent ocular pathology that may contribute to vision loss (e.g., CNV, glaucoma, visually significant cataract, optic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, history of retinal surgery) or interfere with acquisition of high-quality images
Blood pressure \> 180/110 (systolic above 180 OR diastolic above 110). If blood pressure is brought below 180/110 by anti-hypertensive treatment, subject can become eligible.
An ocular condition is present that, in the opinion of the investigator, might affect or alter visual acuity during the course of the study (e.g., vein occlusion, uveitis or other ocular inflammatory disease, neovascular glaucoma, etc.).
Substantial cataract that, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to be decreasing visual acuity by 3 lines or more (i.e., cataract would be reducing acuity to 20/40 or worse if eye was otherwise normal).
Unable to ambulate and take tram from clinic to where OCT is located
