Addressing a major condition affecting millions worldwide, this source compiles the most practical and groundbreaking research on the etiology, assessment, and treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). With full-color illustrations throughout, this reference explores research advancements that have resulted in novel therapies that offer sight saving, less destructive forms of treatment for exudative AMD, as well as strategies to prevent the progression of non-exudative AMD. With three new chapters and expansive amount of section updates, this source supplies the latest studies on OCT imaging, experimental treatments, new applications for thermal lasers, and gene therapy for AMD. The source also summarizes studies from current clinical trials to remain the gold standard in the provision of care for patients with this disabling disorder.
Table of contents:
- Prevalence and Incidence: How common is AMD globally and within specific populations?
- Age as a Risk Factor: Why is age the most significant factor in AMD development?
- Genetic Predisposition: Which genes are associated with AMD risk, and how do they interact with environmental factors?
- Environmental Factors: What are the impacts of smoking, diet, hypertension, and other lifestyle factors on AMD progression?
- Retinal Anatomy and Physiology: How does the macula function, and how are its cells affected in AMD?
- Drusen Formation: What are drusen, and why are they a key indicator of AMD?
- Bruch’s Membrane Changes: How does the thickening of Bruch’s membrane contribute to AMD?
- RPE Dysfunction: What are the roles of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in AMD?
- Dry AMD Progression: How does geographic atrophy develop in dry AMD?
- Wet AMD Development: How do choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) occur in wet AMD?
- Early, Intermediate, and Late AMD: How are these stages defined based on drusen size and pigmentary changes?
- Dry vs. Wet AMD: What are the defining characteristics of each type, and how do they progress?
- Geographic Atrophy: How does this affect vision and what are its characteristics?
- Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV): What are the different types of CNV, and how do they lead to vision loss?
- Anti-VEGF Injections: How do these medications work, and what are their benefits?
- AREDS Supplements: What are the guidelines for using antioxidant vitamins and minerals?
- Laser Treatment: When is laser photocoagulation used, and what are its limitations?
- Other Therapies: What experimental treatments are being explored?
- Personalized Medicine: How can genetics help tailor treatment for AMD?
- Gene Therapy: How might gene therapy be used to treat AMD?
- Combination Therapies: What are the potential benefits of combining different treatments?
- Early Detection and Prevention: How can we improve early detection and potentially prevent AMD
