Showing Results for geographic atrophy
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2024 meeting in Chicago showcased many advancements in retinal research that show promise for the future.
The EURETINA 2024 Congress, held in Barcelona from September 19-22, brought together leading experts in ophthalmology to share the latest research and innovative treatments for retinal diseases. Among the highlights were several late-breaking abstracts that showcased promising advances in therapeutics for conditions such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). These studies not only demonstrated the efficacy and safety of novel treatment options but also addressed critical unmet needs in reducing patient burden and improving long-term outcomes.
A recent study published in Ophthalmology demonstrates the effectiveness of oral antioxidant and lutein/zeaxanthin supplements in slowing the progression of geographic atrophy (GA) associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
We are pleased to present the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Ophthalmology. In this issue, we offer a series of engaging editorials, in-depth review articles and insightful original research highlighting some of the latest breakthroughs, innovations and practical insights in ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic deterioration and dysfunction of the outer retinal tissue and Bruch’s membrane (BrM). It is the leading cause of vision loss in people older than 60 years and is estimated to affect 288 million people ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the main causes of irreversible vision loss in ageing populations worldwide.1 In 2019, the US recorded 1.49 million people aged 40 years or older with late-stage AMD, reflecting a crude prevalence rate of 0.94%.2 Geographic atrophy (GA), ...
Retinal pharmacotherapy encompasses various drug delivery routes that offer potential avenues for effective treatment (Figure 1). Among these, intravitreal injections have emerged as the predominant method employed in clinical practice.1 They have established themselves as the primary approach for administering anti-vascular ...
The term ‘artificial intelligence’ was coined by a group of scientists during a workshop known as the “Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence” in 1956.1 The concept was based on the idea that “intelligent human behavior consisted in processes that ...
Article highlights Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a powerful way of analysing a large amount of data, extracting those features characterizing a given disease or condition. AI-based models have been largely tested in the main retinopathies, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic ...
Welcome to the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Ophthalmology, which aims to provide a forum for doctors and healthcare professionals to find the most recent advances in all areas of ophthalmology and visual sciences. We begin with two editorials; John ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision impairment and legal blindness in developed countries, with a projected estimate of 288 million cases in 2040.1 AMD can be classified as exudative or non-exudative. The early AMD-related lesion is represented by ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by age-associated thinning of the macula and formation of drusen. It has substantial global prevalence, especially in the older population, and it is the primary cause of permanent loss of vision in individuals 50 years ...
It was a pleasure to catch up with Carl Regillo (Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA), who talked us through the therapeutic approaches currently in clinical trial investigation for the treatment of geographic atrophy, and his views on exciting future ...
We enjoyed speaking to Carl Regillo (Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA) about incidence and prognosis of geographic atrophy, and advances in understanding of genetics and pathophysiology of dry AMD. Questions Could you give us a brief overview of geographic ...
Continuing our The Ophthalmologist Power List 2020 series, Editorial Board member Professor Anat Loewenstein of Tel Aviv University, Israel, shares her motivations, career highlights and her predictions for developments in ophthalmology over the coming year. Q: What motivated you to ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness and its prevalence increases with age.1 There are two forms of AMD: dry (nonexudative) and wet (exudative). Dry AMD is the more common, accounting for around 90% of all cases, with 10% ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic, progressive degenerative disease with subsequent reduction in visual acuity. The disease is the foremost cause of visual impairment in the elderly.1,2 The most recent data from Europe indicate that the prevalence of AMD ...
