Macular degeneration therapy aims to slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Treatments for AMD include anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) injections to block abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, as well as photodynamic therapy, which uses a light-activated drug to treat wet AMD.

These therapies help reduce the growth of abnormal blood vessels and prevent further damage to the macula, improving visual acuity and slowing vision loss. In some cases, laser surgery may also be used to treat the disease.

While no cure exists for AMD, these therapies can help stabilize vision and enhance the quality of life for patients living with the condition.
