One in 10 people over the age of 60 have some form of AMD. That ratio increases to one in four people over 70. As ophthalmologists surely know, AMD is the leading cause of legal blindness for people over age 55 in the Western world—more than 5 million new cases aDaniel F. Kiernan...
Carl Regillo, MD and Diana Do, MD, describe the progressive nature of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and differences between dry AMD and wet AMD.
New investigative drugs for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may complement the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents, improve the visual results, and require fewer injections. Various routes of administration are under investigation and combination trea...
The CNV of all wet AMD is potentially a cause of significant visual loss, whether or not there is a major visual decrease at the time of diagnosis. Wet AMD does not have specific stages like dry AMD. The wet form generally leads to significantly more vision loss than the dry form. All ...
