View Medical News Eggs and eyes [January 2007; 155-6] [2/0] Vote Up Vote Down http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band155/b155-6.html Submitted by maverick99 9 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 21 hours ago Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. In the USA 200,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, and nearly six million Americans have suffered some vision loss from AMD. A rapidly aging and longer living population suggests that the prevalence of AMD is likely to triple over the next 25 years as our populations contain increasing numbers of older people.
