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

Macular translocation for neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2008
Macular translocation has been proposed by vitreoretinal surgeons to displace the neuroretinal tissue onto healthy retinal pigment epithelium and choroid when the macula has been invaded by subretinal neovascularisation.This review aims at assessing the effectiveness of macular translocation for preserving or improving vision in patients with ...

Imaging in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2011
Imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This review describes the imaging modalities most commonly employed by ophthalmologists caring for patients with neovascular AMD. Imaging modalities discussed include fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, indocyanine green ...

Guidance for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration [PDF]

open access: possibleActa Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 2007
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration is becoming an increasing socio-medical problem as the proportion of the aged population is continuously increasing. However, new insights in the pathogenesis of the disease offer the opportunity to develop targeted therapies that attack the disease process more successfully than ever.

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 and Choroidal Neovascularization

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1993
The neovascular variant of age-related macular degeneration is amenable to laser photocoagulation treatment within well-defined guidelines established by clinical trials. However, only a limited number of patients meet eligibility criteria for this form of treatment, principally because of the ill-defined, or occult nature, of the choroidal ...
