Abstract:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) also known as senile macular degeneration, is a kind of blindness caused by age-related and irreversible damage to visual function. With the aging problem becoming more and more serious in China, the incidence of AMD is on the rise. At present, there is still a lack of effective treatment for visual function damage caused by AMD. Conventional anti-neovascularization therapy and photodynamic therapy have practical problems such as passive therapy, insufficience of prevention methods and lasting curative effect. Therefore, the basic theory of etiology, pathology and pharmacological effects of therapeutic drugs of AMD are summarized and discussed in this paper, aiming to effectively prevent the occurrence and progress of AMD, or improve prognosis.

Key words: Age-related macular degeneration, Etiology, Therapy, Prevent
