    What's the latest research on AMD? Scientists are studying what causes AMD and how we can treat it better. One NEI research team found a way to treat dry AMD in animals using stem cells. Researchers are now testing whether this treatment is safe for people. This research could lead to a treatment for dry AMD in the future.

    An international group of researchers discovered 7 regions of the human genome associated with an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness. The group also confirmed 12 regions identified in previous studies. The findings may eventually lead to new treatment and prevention approaches to AMD.

    Can we detect age-related macular degeneration?
    One day, we may be able to detect signs that age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is developing and take early steps to defend against it. Macular Degeneration Research is funding research into unique ways to protect the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retina at earlier stages, before damage to sight has occurred.

    What is macular degeneration & what causes it?
    Macular degeneration usually refers to the age-related degenerative changes in the retina that can result in loss of central vision. It is caused by abnormal blood vessel growth (a condition referred to as 'wet' macular degeneration) or atrophy and accumulation of debris ('dry' macular degeneration), both of which damage the macula.

    Can age-related macular degeneration be prevented?
    An effective intervention to slow progression in the earlier stages of disease, or to prevent late age-related macular degeneration development remains elusive, and our understanding of underlying mechanistic pathways continues to evolve. Age-related macular degeneration is a disease of the modern era.
