 The article presents the results of a survey of 89 patients with nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The survey was carried out using optical coherence tomography of the retina and fundus autofluorescence. The received data characterizes the peculiarities of the retina in eyes with different stages of dry AMD. The correlation between the size of hypoautofluorescent areas, average choroidal thickness and central retinal thickness was revealed.

Key words: age-related macular degeneration, optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence.
