The value of Age-Related Macular Degeneration has stood the test of
time, but progress in both basic and clinical ophthalmology has
been relentless, mandating the need for an updated book. This
second edition focuses on the pathophysiology and the epidemiology
of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the clinical features
and management of dry and wet AMD, imaging techniques, and medical
therapy for both non-neovascular AMD and neovascular AMD. It
describes both clinically validated and experimental therapies as
well as rehabilitation technology, and presents strategies to
prevent the progression of non-exudative AMD. Results from current
clinical trials are also included. New chapters in this edition
cover: Genetics and treatment Oxidative stress and its relation to
the pathophysiology of AMD and CNV (choroidal neovascularization-a
common symptom of wet AMD) Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
Microperimetry and psychophysical testing and ways to track
geographic atrophy progression Non-VEGF pathways Retinal stem cells
