  Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a retinal disorder is the leading cause of vision loss in elderly people in developed countries. Currently, colour fundus imaging is used as a gold standard to assess individual for initial screening of AMD.

The aim of the paper is to analyse and review the automated and semi-automated methods for detecting AMD pathologies such as drusen and geographic atrophy (GA) using colour fundus imaging. We intend to provide a brief description, highlighting the key points of the performance measurement and a framework for the existing research. We emphasize that to date; existing drug treatment can stop the progression of AMD and there is no drug or treatment to cure AMD. Therefore, the only feasible option is to prevent the incide..
