AMRD is a condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye). This blocks vision in the center of the eye and can cause problems with activities such as reading and driving. ARMD is most often seen in people who are over the age of 50.
Although only 15% of patients with AMD have the wet form, 80 to 90% of the severe vision loss caused by AMD results from wet AMD.
The following are the various treatment modalities for AMRD:

Macular degeneration is a condition where the central part of the retina (the macula) deteriorates, causing loss of central vision or distortion.
There are two main types: “dry” (atrophic) which progresses slowly, and “wet” (neovascular) which involves abnormal blood vessels and can lead to rapid vision loss.
Look out for blurred or distorted central vision, straight lines appearing curved, or dark spots in the centre of your visual field.
People over 50, those with a family history, smokers, and those with high blood pressure or high cholesterol are at higher risk—so regular eye check-ups are crucial.
Using advanced diagnostics like OCT scans and fluorescein angiography to assess and monitor the condition of the retina and macula.
Treatments include nutritional supplements, intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, and laser therapy to slow progression and preserve vision.
There is currently no complete cure, but early detection and timely treatment can stabilise the condition and significantly delay vision loss.
After diagnosis, regular follow-up exams (every 3-12 months depending on severity) are essential to track changes and modify treatment.
