Abstract
BETWEEN 4 and 10 million people in the United States, aged 45 to 75 years, are estimated to have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision impairment.1-6 The disease is thought to be non-neovascular (non–NV) to begin, and to progress to a neovascular (NV) form in some patients. Although an estimated 80% of AMD patients have the non-NV form,1 the NV form may account for almost 90% of the severe visual loss (20/200 OU or worse) due to AMD.7Keywords
