The projected number of people with the disease will be 288 million in 2040, deserving the effort for early detection and treatment. In many different studies the peripheral retinal changes had been demonstrated clinically and pathologically in age related macular degeneration. Retinal imaging had a huge development within the last century and now it is easier to detect and document the peripheral retinal changes. Ultra-widefi eld imaging with many different commercially available devices will be one of the most important tools of retinal imaging. In this review our aim is to discuss the diagnostic, therapeutic and predictive value of ultra-widefield imaging in age related macular degeneration.
