These studies suggest that the latest treatments for age-related macular degeneration include anti-VEGF therapies, intravitreal injections, photodynamic therapy, and emerging approaches like nanotechnology, gene therapy, and DARPins.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults, particularly in the developed world. It is classified into two main types: exudative (wet) and nonexudative (dry). The treatment landscape for AMD has evolved significantly, with various therapies targeting different aspects of the disease.

The treatment landscape for age-related macular degeneration is rapidly evolving. Anti-VEGF therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for exudative AMD, but new approaches such as gene therapy, nanotechnology, and combination therapies are showing promise in reducing treatment burdens and improving outcomes. While some experimental treatments and preventive measures are still under investigation, the future of AMD treatment looks promising with ongoing research and clinical trials.
