Age-related macular degeneration

The Lancet, 2018
Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of visual impairment and severe vision loss. Clinically, it is classified as early-stage (medium-sized drusen and retinal pigmentary changes) to late-stage (neovascular and atrophic). Age-related macular degeneration is a multifactorial disorder, with dysregulation in the complement, lipid, angiogenic,

Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Ophthalmologica, 2012
<i>Purpose:</i> Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness, with an increasing incidence as the elderly population expands. Large, multi-center, randomized, clinical trials have been conducted exploring the safety and efficacy of anti-VEGF treatments. This paper aims to discuss the safety and efficacy

Cystoid Macular Degeneration in Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011
To investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of cystoid macular degeneration in eyes that underwent intravitreal ranibizumab injections for exudative age-related macular degeneration.Retrospective, interventional case series.We reviewed the charts of 56 consecutive patients (19 male, 37 female; mean age ± standard deviation, 80.81 ± 4.8 ...

Macular dystrophies mimicking age-related macular degeneration

Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2014
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly population in the Western world. AMD is a clinically heterogeneous disease presenting with drusen, pigmentary changes, geographic atrophy and/or choroidal neovascularization.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2015
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly. AMD is diagnosed based on characteristic retinal findings in individuals older than 50. Early detection and treatment are critical in increasing the likelihood of retaining good and functional vision.

Nonneovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

2015
The discovery of several genetic variants associated with an increased risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has led to a completely new understanding of AMD. In addition to the known modifiable risk factors, genetic risk factors may also help to assess the risk to progress to nonneovascular AMD.

Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

2015
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in individuals over the age of 50 years. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the hallmark of 'wet' or 'exudative' AMD, and is responsible for approximately 90% of cases of severe vision loss due to AMD. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key component in the

Age‐related macular degeneration in Inuit

Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 1999
To describe a specific Greenlandic type af age-related macular degeneration (AMD) - the Retinochoroidal Atrophy (RCA).135 referred patients in East Greenland were examined in 1997. A colour and a redfree fundus photograph of an 87-year-old Greenlandic woman illustrates the clinical picture of RCA (retinochoriodal atrophy).Of 135 examined patients 22 ...
