The Diagnosis and Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is thought to cause approximately 9% of all cases of blindness worldwide. In Germany, half of all cases of blindness and high-grade visual impairment are due to AMD. In this review, the main risk factors,
