Page 17
Research projects are carried out in many countries around the world to learn more about AMD.
For example, scientists are:
- Studying the possibility of transplanting healthy cells into a diseased retina.
- Evaluating families with a history of AMD to understand genetic and hereditary factors that may cause the disease.
- Looking at certain anti-inflammatory treatments for the wet form of AMD.
These researches should provide better ways to detect, treat, and prevent vision loss in people with AMD.
