Age related macular degeneration: novel ways to reduce vision loss through understanding a high-risk phenotype and validating a new early intervention. [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in older individuals. AMD eyes with reticular pseudo drusen (RPD) are now recognised as at high-risk of faster progression to vision loss. Identifying the underlying mechanisms driving RPD is crucial for to identify specifically targeted therapeutic options. Validating our subthreshold laser trial, and our early endpoint will offer the first proven intervention to slow AMD progression to vision loss.
