OPTIONS FOR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION TREATMENT
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a troubling disease usually found in people over age 50. In most cases, it affects both eyes and progresses very slowly. The main symptom is loss of central vision. Activities that require central vision – reading, driving and watching TV – are most affected. Age-related macular degeneration does not lead to blindness because peripheral vision is unaffected. Ninety percent (90%) of patients have “dry” macular degeneration. This form is slowly progressive and patients rarely suffer from severe vision loss. There is often little that can be done. Fewer patients suffer from the “wet” form. Fewer than 10% of all patients develop wet age-related macular degeneration. Substantial loss of central vision may occur in only a few weeks or months.
