These studies suggest that managing age-related macular degeneration involves treatments like anti-VEGF agents, laser therapies, and antioxidant supplements, along with preventive measures such as smoking cessation, dietary modifications, and routine eye monitoring.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss among the elderly, characterized by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina, known as the macula. This condition can be classified into two types: dry (non-neovascular) and wet (neovascular). Managing AMD involves a combination of therapeutic interventions, lifestyle modifications, and preventive measures.
Anti-VEGF Therapy for Wet AMD:
Photodynamic and Laser Therapies:
Nutritional Supplements:
Lifestyle Modifications:
Experimental and Emerging Treatments:
Managing age-related macular degeneration involves a multifaceted approach. For wet AMD, anti-VEGF therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, with newer agents potentially reducing treatment burden. Nutritional supplements and lifestyle modifications play a significant role in preventing and slowing the progression of AMD. While current treatments do not cure AMD, ongoing research and emerging therapies hold promise for more effective management in the future.
