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.
