Current Treatments for Age-Related Macular Degeneration Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. As the population ages globally, the number of people with AMD is expected to significantly increase in coming decades. While there is currently no cure for AMD, several effective treatment options exist that can help slow its progression and preserve vision for many patients. Anti-VEGF Therapies One of the most effective AMD treatment approaches currently available involves the use of medications that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is a protein that promotes the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye—a key driver of the "wet" form of AMD. Anti-VEGF drugs work by inhibiting VEGF and preventing further growth and leakage of these fragile, new blood vessels beneath the macula.
