And now we're getting newer, longer-acting agents, as well, so that we don't have to do the shots so often. That's the wet macular degeneration. The other half of it is dry macular degeneration, as it advances to something that we call geographic atrophy. In geographic atrophy, I ...
When you have wetage-related macular degeneration (AMD), the growth of abnormal blood vessels under the macula and retina of your eye can lead to distortions and black spots in your vision. In some people, this visual impairment remains stable for long periods. But the nature ofwet AMDis su...
According to the analysis, which sorted people with AMD and those without AMD, taking curcumin was associated with decreased risk of developing dry AMD, wet AMD, and blindness, as well as a reduced need foranti-VEGF therapy(AMD medication injected directly into the eye that slows or stops dam...
Six sampling sites yielded seventy-two river water samples during twelve sampling events, conducted across wet and dry seasons. Our analysis revealed a persistent presence of fecal contamination, primarily signified by GenBac3 (100% detection; 210-542 log10 copies/100 mL), alongside evidence of ...
Dry AMD is characterized by the appearance of hard or soft drusen and/or areas of retina pigmented epithelium (RPE) loss or hypertrophy. Large areas of RPE loss, termed geographic atrophy, are mainly responsible for decrease vision in this type of AMD. Wet AMD, comprising 15% of all AMD ...

While about four of every five people with AMD have the dry form of the disease, it's the so-called "wet" form that most concerns ophthalmologists, because it accounts for 80-90 percent of all legal blindness associated with the disease. In wet AMD,abnormal blood vesselsaccumulate underneath...
the number dropped to only two out of every 100 diagnosed with wet macular degeneration. The researchers learned that the aspirin connection seems to only relate to the increased risk to wet macular degeneration and not to the dry form of the disease. ...
