Age Related Macular Degeneration
Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) occurs in two primary types. Dry AMD that accounts for approximately 90% of cases and is generally the milder form of the disorder and is not amenable to treatment with any form of currently FDA approved treatment. Wet AMD, the second type is by far much more sight threatening but fortunately only accounts for approximately 10% of cases. Wet Age Related Macular Degeneration is treatable with certain types of laser eye surgery if it is diagnosed early enough.
